The Resource Alliance is delighted to announce that fundraisers worldwide are now eligible to apply to The Future Leaders Programme for Fundraisers!
Dear Oh-Deuk,
The Future Leaders Programme for Fundraisers explores the demands of leadership and the skills required to lead effectively with special sensitivity to the needs of our sector.
Stage one
You will begin in April 2013 with a 360-degree feedback survey. Then you’ll work with a qualified Executive Coach to discover your ability to be an effective leader.
Stage two
In September 2013 you will participate in an intensive five-day residential course at Wolfson College, Oxford University. Studying with some of the best names in the field of leadership education, you will have daily opportunities for confronting your own challenges with people of note and reputation in the world of NGOs, who will bring you to a new level of knowledge and capability.
Stage three
In September 2013 you’ll also develop a Personal Action Plan for taking your leadership capability to the next level.
Stage four
From October 2013 to September 2014 you will work with a specially selected mentor who will guide you towards successfully fulfilling your plan.
Stage five
Throughout the programme you will have access to an exclusive peer learning e-platform. Participants attending the International Fundraising Congress (IFC) in October 2013 will also be invited to participate in a peer learning Workshop.
