Another message from Karima Forbes, Ph.D. about the Resilience Coaching Collective (RCC). There are still a few spots remaining for Black Women Leaders in the Non-Profit Sector. We would love to share space with you and Empower Black Women Leaders! #resilience #resiliencecoaching #wellness #blackwomen #blackwomeninleadership #blackwomenleaders #womenempowerment #nonprofitleaders

Intriguing (and concerning) data! While it's great to see so many women in the nonprofit sector, the leadership gap is undeniable. #Nonprofit leaders, what are your thoughts on these findings? Check out the article in the comments 👇👇 #HypeWomen #powerwomen #womeninbiz #associationchat #asae

Women make up 85 per cent of non-profit support staff in Canada but hold only 70 per cent of senior executive positions. A US study also found that male leaders in the sector typically hold more power and resources than female leaders do. Hear from women about what the sector needs to change to get more women into leadership roles and why there is optimism for the future in this article. #nonprofitleadership #womeninleadership

The State of Black Women Leadership Is In Danger The critical quote from the article, “We have observed a disconcerting pattern where Black women leaders are vacating their roles, with some leaving the non-profit sector altogether, citing hostility toward their leadership, strain on their health and well-being, unfair job expectations, and limited opportunities for career progression” https://lnkd.in/gu_2UjX4 #africanamerican #nonprofitleadership #womenempowerment #AfricanAmericannonprofit

🔵 Nonprofit Quarterly sheds light on the impact of underinvestment on women of colour in leadership.

Losing Black women in nonprofit leadership is a tremendous threat to the social impact sector. Below are just a few of the many reasons our DiverseForce on Boards (DFOB) program matters based on the findings cited in this article: Combatting Systemic Inequities: Black women in nonprofit leadership face numerous challenges, from systemic inequities to a lack of support and resources. Our DFOB program addresses these issues head-on by training and providing competent board members who understand and are committed to tackling these systemic barriers. Fostering Supportive Environments: The article highlights the crucial need for environments where Black women leaders can thrive without facing undue scrutiny or microaggressions. DFOB plays a vital role in creating these supportive ecosystems, ensuring these leaders receive the respect, trust, and collaboration they deserve. Enhancing Decision-Making and Organizational Health: By bringing diverse perspectives to the table, our program not only supports Black women leaders but also enriches the decision-making process within nonprofits. This diversity leads to more innovative solutions and a healthier organizational culture, benefiting the entire sector.

Women working in Christian nonprofits, I'm curious to know how relationships have influenced your leadership. Would you share your experience in a 5-10 minute anonymous survey? Women are often encouraged to develop leadership skills through training, but research indicates that the relationships surrounding women are at least as important as (maybe more than!) skill development. The study behind this survey focuses on those relationships that help women launch and sustain their leadership journeys, including the type of support they receive through their relationship networks. Participants must be women 18 years or older who are working for or have recently worked for a Christian nonprofit (i.e. church, denomination, para-church organization, charity) registered in Canada or the USA. Please consider sharing this survey with any women in your network who may qualify. This survey is part of a PhD dissertation at Eastern University. Thanks in advance for your time and support!

I appreciated that we got to hear more perspectives from Black & Queer Nonprofit leaders at this summit. I highly suggest giving this short article a read, as there are some great insights into the nonprofit field as a whole, as well as the ways these leaders are focusing their efforts on achieving their goals. Thanks Terrance Turner and Forward Times. #Nonprofit #Leadership #BlackLeadership
