Lab Outline

Executive Director 101 supports first-time, or incoming, executive directors (EDs) with practical skills and knowledge to succeed in their role.

In this lab, we will explore the eight domains of the executive director position:

• Leadership
• Governance
• Program and Service Management
• Human Resources
• Fund Development
• Financial Management
• Community and Public Relations
• Administration

Suggested participants: New and incoming executive directors (including similar roles such as CEOs, artistic directors, and managing directors) who are looking for structure and insight into the key responsibilities of the ED role.

Important note: If you are an executive director with more than one year of experience in the role, our Advanced Executive Lab may be a better fit for you.
