NELI Personal Endorsements

 

“As someone that has been quite successful in the private sector, I found the nuisances of the non-profit world unique. NELI is a wonderful program that has helped bridge my professional for-profit expertise with the demands of the non-profit arena. Both areas of knowledge and professional growth are essential to develop a sustainable organization while keeping our mission at the core of our business. NELI also fosters an environment that creates a network of like-minded professionals eager to support one another. We all have a unique purpose and mission, now we have common shared experience that we can build upon going forward. Relationships are priceless.”

“NELI was instrumental in my gaining more confidence for more profitable fundraising and networking. Learning from each other is part of the package. The overall experience was great, and I would recommend to any nonprofit leader, new or experienced.”

“The Institute has changed my entire perception of my organization, my job and myself. I now work much smarter and with more confidence. But the single most valuable asset was creating a connection to and bond with other executive directors and non-profit leaders. I don't feel alone anymore!”

“The NELI training conducted this past year was the best education I've received in nonprofit training, and I indeed wish that this caliber of training had been available throughout the past twelve years in which I have been in nonprofit work. What an amazing, talented group of presenters who delivered their expertise excellently. Even though my agency had not budgeted for this type of training for me, I took it upon myself to finance this course personally because it was something I had been seeking for years. I appreciate your dedication to this effort and am hopeful it will continue for future nonprofit leaders.”

“NELI was an incredible experience that blended learning from true experts from around the country with networking and relationship building with local colleagues. This combination not only provided valuable learning for the present, but also laid the foundation for continued growth in the future through the professional peer group. I use the strategies and processes we learned in the class regularly in my role as ED of CJFS and know I have others to turn to when I need feedback, input, or have a problem to solve.“
