The Details

This program is designed to accommodate 20 nonprofit executive directors from the San Luis Valley and Central Peaks regions with nonprofit experience and who are currently leading organizations with operating budgets under $750,000. There is an application process and nominal fee. A San Luis Valley or Central Peaks nonprofit is defined as any nonprofit headquartered and providing services in one or more of the following counties: Alamosa, Chaffee, Conejos, Costilla, Custer, Fremont, Mineral, and Rio Grande. At a certain point, the program will be opened up to organizations across the state.

Cost of the Regional NELP program for participants is only $300, a fraction of the actual cost for the course.

What They're Saying

This program was so helpful. I get so little attention to my personal leadership style. The tools and insights provided will be lasting.

Southeast NELP Alumni, 2010

Having the opportunity to participate in the 2011 Nonprofit Executive Leadership Program was a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend NELP to all Nonprofit Executives as a means to gain a better understanding of their leadership skills.
