Program Overview
The ED Peer Network Program is being delivered in partnership with Barry Jansen of JansenHR.
Are you a social impact Executive Director looking for peer support, development opportunities, and knowledge exchange? If so, United Way Winnipeg’s ED Peer Network is the program for you!
At United Way Winnipeg, we understand that there is a need for dedicated space and time for Executive Directors to get together for mutual sharing, learning, and support. We understand that there is limited opportunity to speak openly about organizational challenges and personal struggles. This program aims to offer a safe space for Executive Directors to work through their biggest challenges.
Participants in the ED Peer Network will experience a blend of structured learning, interactive dialogue, opportunity to work through participant-led case studies, and peer support and networking. The ED Peer Network will focus on topics ranging from strategic perspectives on executive director/board relationships, organizational change management, performance management, terminations, resilience and mental health in the workplace, and/or current challenges facing your organizations
How to Register:
Space is limited to 12 participants. To register for this program, you must be an executive director of a nonprofit and/or charitable organization in Winnipeg.
Given the limited space in the program, we ask that you only register if you can commit to all six sessions of the program between October to December.
