“I have learned that our greatest blessings come when we are able to improve the lives of others, and this is especially true when those others are desperately poor or in need.” – President Jimmy Carter This morning, I had the privilege of spending time with the Senior Leadership group of the ChangeMakers Collective, hosted by Ascent Leadership LLC and Stratégie LLC. This remarkable group of senior leaders from nonprofit organizations in the Greater Green Bay community meets monthly to connect, share, and learn. Today, we discussed our goals for the coming year and the impact we hope to make in the world—a conversation made even more poignant as it coincided with the day President Jimmy Carter, a true exemplar of selfless leadership, was laid to rest. The ChangeMakers Collective (CMC) is a peer advisory group created exclusively for nonprofit executives. It provides a transformative space where nonprofit leaders come together to: - Share experiences and foster innovation. - Develop solutions to complex challenges. - Enhance leadership skills and drive meaningful change within their organizations and communities. Built on the principles of collaboration, expertise, and mutual support, CMC empowers nonprofit executives to maximize their impact and build stronger, more resilient organizations.
