Event Details

What does nonprofit leadership look like in 2026 — and what must change for leaders to thrive? Join us for a conversation with Michael Ibrahim, Chief Program and Impact Officer at TSNE, as we explore key findings from the 2026 Leadership New England report.

The report draws on regional focus groups to explore the challenges and opportunities facing nonprofit leaders across career stages, highlighting key themes around leadership, equity, and sustainability that will spark conversation and reflection for Maine’s nonprofit community.

New this year: We’re carving out time just for your questions! Come ready with one in mind, or jot them down as the conversation unfolds, and get a chance to ask them at the end of the session!
