Being a part of leadership Rutherford has been one of the greatest experiences.

Being a mentor in a similar leadership development program was life-changing. Participants grew, found their voice, confidence, skills, and lessons to cary forward and pass down to their followers as they advanced into leadership roles. When you invest in talent… Great things happen! Why would you expect anything different from a cohort of professionals eager to grow and reach their potential who happen to be blind? #Leadership #Talent #ProfessionalDevelopment #Inclusion

NEW in Candid. Our latest Race to Lead report, The Push and Pull: Declining Interest in Nonprofit Leadership, found that interest in leadership is declining among Black, Indigenous, and other people of color. BMP's co-executive directors, Frances Kunreuther and Sean Thomas-Breitfeld, explore why aspiration to lead is declining. They explore reasons, including that BIPOC staff are often pushed into leadership to escape negative experiences and how once in leadership roles they lack the support of the board and staff.

Thanks for championing a liberal arts education, which lays the foundation for lifelong learning, nurturing an innate curiosity and the ability to ask deeper, more insightful questions. By exploring various disciplines, students gain a holistic understanding of the world, allowing them to connect ideas across fields and foster innovation. This education also emphasizes ethical reasoning and civic responsibility, shaping graduates into not just skilled professionals but also conscientious global citizens. In an era of rapid technological and industrial change, the adaptability and resilience fostered by a liberal arts education are crucial, equipping individuals to learn new skills and pivot their careers as needed. Moreover, by engaging with diverse cultures, histories, and philosophies, students develop empathy and effective communication skills, essential for building strong relationships and leading with understanding in both professional and personal realms.

Shout out to Bernard F. for being recognized as one of 50 Black leaders you should know. If you don’t know Zuri 3 Construction, check out their work to lead transformational change in the construction industry.

The more I learn about VEL, the more I understand its significance. It’s not a networking group, or a lead generating service or a pay-to-play opportunity. VEL is a choice. If each person is a balloon, and tied to that balloon are our fears, failures, anxieties and doubt - all the different things that keep that balloon from reaching new heights - VEL can help you choose to cut those things loose. They don’t do the cutting or even act as the scissors. You do the work, but VEL helps you understand where and how to start. As the balloon climbs, a greater perspective is found. One that shows more of the road ahead and the purpose behind the effort. “Discovering Parts Within” is the cornerstone program VEL stands on. It welcomes a very small amount of candidates each year. It’s only goal is to help particiants cut their balloons loose. It’s the same style of instruction our founder has provided to NASA and executives across multiple industries. Love to tell you more. We have three spots left for the next DPW session. #heyfahey #velinstitute #purpose
