Leadership development, to be effective, must be deliberate and intentional. Last week the City of Detroit, Neighborhood Services Division and SP Grace met with over 20 awardees from Round 1 of the Neighborhood Opportunity (NOF) ARPA Grant to provide training on enhancing board engagement and community impact. Below is feedback from the training from a participant, Tamra and Asia,   I wanted to THANK YOU for offering the excellent workshop with Dr. Carmen. Many of us small neighborhood non-profit groups give so much effort towards programs which benefit our neighborhoods, but do not take the time to work out the kinks (and sometimes the road blocks!) in our boards and committees. Dr. Carmen was superb in giving us a framework to approach board members and help set a direction for smooth collaboration. The City of Detroit is proud to be partnering with SP Grace to provide training and technical assistance to the Round 1 Beneficiaries of the NOF ARPA grant. If you are looking to enhance and scale your existing programs? The City of Detroit, in partnership with SP Grace, invites all eligible small non-profits to apply for the NOF / ARPA Grants. This funding opportunity is designed specifically for small non-profits looking to empower their organization and deepen their impact in Detroit. Applications will be accepted from SEPTEMBER 16 - NOVEMBER 15, 2024. Don’t miss this chance to boost the effectiveness of your proven programs. We encourage early applications, as funds are available on a first-come, first-served basis. For program details and to apply, visit the City of Detroit’s NOF/ARPA Opportunity page online or SPGrace.com/NOF-ARPA #communityimpact #LeadershipDevelopment #Impact

To my fellow #womenentrepreneurs out there, this is an important tool in your toolbox. Leadership in business includes understanding the environment in which you operate - and I am not just talking about your corporate culture and environment. I am talking about the laws (policies) that govern how you can/will do business. Understanding how civics and, more specifically policy, affects your business is a #gamechanger. Especially when you learn how you can expand your influence over the policies and environment that impact your business. I highly recommend #ThePolicyCircle Civic Leadership Engagement Roadmap (CLER) program for any woman business owner or professional wanting to have greater impact and increase their sphere of influence. You won't be disappointed. #CLER #womenleaders #civicengagement
