Becoming the Executive Steward: A Journey for Nonprofit Leaders
Executive Directors navigating the realities of leadership for the first time — often without extensive infrastructure, internal teams, or formal transition support. Supporting leaders in developing clarity, confidence, sustainable leadership practices, and mission-aligned decision-making while building credibility with communities, stakeholders, and boards is what this experience provided by Melina Higbee is all about. Rather than focusing solely on organizational growth, this experience centers the human transition into executive leadership — supporting leaders in sustaining both themselves and the missions they carry.
