Our Approach

A message from our lead educator, Darren Macfee:

I have great admiration for anyone who is leading a nonprofit organization. You have dedicated your life to creating a better world.

As a former CEO, I’ve walked in your shoes. Now, with a decade of consulting, I see recurring themes everywhere I go micromanaging boards, staff squabbles, and burnout.

I believe EVERY nonprofit leader deserves a fulfilling and rewarding workplace. The Network is here to help YOU succeed!
