The Paul G. Duke Academy for Community Leadership is held annually for five (5) monthly sessions beginning in January and ending in May with the Mosaic Conference. The Paul G. Duke Academy for Community Leadership application form and scholarship information and criteria will be posted when they become available. The Paul G. Duke Academy for Community Leadership Mentor Program provides an opportunity to work and learn together! Mentoring can be a rewarding experience for both the mentor and the mentee. Mentorships provide the opportunity for feedback, reflection, evaluation and celebration of success. A mentor should ask his or her mentee about what the mentee’s individual and organizational goals are and what they are looking for from the mentoring relationship. Mentees should be clear about what they hope to receive from the mentoring relationship, particularly with respect to individual and organizational goals. These discussions early in the relationship will form the foundation of the work and learning together. Mentoring will start officially at the Mosaic of Community Leadership Conference upon graduation of The Paul G. Duke Academy for Community Leadership and conclude at the conference the following year. Both the mentor and mentee will be asked to evaluate their experience with the mentoring program. Often mentoring relationships informally continue for many years! A–Z Effective Board Award Program The Edison State Center for Community Leadership provides a tool for the self-evaluation of your nonprofit board. Purpose This tool is meant to be used throughout the year to ensure that the work of the board and the organization is complete. This instrument defines specific steps and actions that can be taken by your board to meet organizational goals. All stakeholders will play a major role in achieving this award. Recognition Recognizing that outstanding communities are characterized by the quality of life that is supported by individuals committed to service and stewardship in the nonprofit sector—the Center for Leadership Development created this award to recognize nonprofit boards who are doing outstanding work in the region. This checklist document is to be submitted to the Center for Leadership Development by April 10. Presentation Awards are presented to qualifying nonprofit boards at the Mosaic of Community Leadership Conference, held each May, at Edison State Community College. |
