Harvard Strategic Perspectives: Lunch & Alumni Conversation

Tuesday, October 6, 2026

Event Details

Have you wondered what it’s like to attend Harvard Business School’s renowned Strategic Perspectives in Nonprofit Management (SPNM) program? Join us for a special luncheon featuring two Alabama nonprofit leaders who bookend our state's SPNM experience: the first Alabama participant and the most recent attendee. Together, they will share firsthand insights about the program, how it has evolved over time, and the lasting impact it has had on their leadership and organizations.

SPNM is designed for nonprofit CEOs and executive directors and focuses on strategic leadership, organizational performance, mission alignment, governance, fundraising, impact measurement, systems change, and leading through complexity. Participants engage in case-study learning, peer consultation, and discussions with nonprofit leaders from around the world.

Whether you are actively considering applying or simply curious about the experience, this luncheon will provide an inside look at what attendees learn, how they build valuable professional networks, and why so many nonprofit leaders describe the program as transformative for their organizations and careers. Come hear candid reflections, ask questions, and discover whether SPNM may be the right next step in your leadership journey.

This luncheon is open to nonprofits with an operating budget of $1M and above as that is a requirement for application to the SPNM program.
