Are you an executive director who has been in your position for more than 6 months and less than 5 years? NYCON's Executive Director Leadership Retreat is the ideal place to gain valuable skills to advance your career and support the mission of your organization. Each year our experienced staff provide practical training in nonprofit executive leadership, management, and problem-solving. The retreat is tailored to engage participants in organization-specific conversations with the instructors and your peers, incorporating real-world elements to explore nonprofit sector challenges and opportunities. Our unique approach blends group training, one-on-one consultations, and cohort discussions for maximum impact.

During the retreat, participants will delve into the following topics:

  • The Role of the Executive Director
  • The Executive Director’s Relationship with the Board of Directors
  • Nonprofit Accounting and Fiscal Accountability
  • Effective Marketing & Messaging Strategies
  • Legal Accountability & Compliance
  • Human Resources Issues and Strategies
  • Partnering with Your Board in Fund Development

The retreat includes two nights' accommodation and all meals throughout the event. For those in the local area, a commuter rate is available that includes on-site meals.
The retreat takes place over three days, starting at 11:00 AM on the first day, continuing throughout the second day, and concluding at 2:00 PM on the third day. Specific times may vary depending on the session. A full agenda will be sent to participants closer to the event.
