Leadership Development with CenterLink

"When I first became the executive director of the [Center], it was CenterLink that came to my aid. CenterLink provided me with valuable resources, connections, support that helped me grow into a stronger and more capable leader. The entire CenterLink team goes above and beyond to keep local LGBT centers connected to one another while helping to build up the leaders of those local centers. CenterLink has strengthened the LGBT movement." - Jay Maddock, Out Front Kalamazoo

Executive Director Boot Camp

Executive Director Boot Camp is an intensive educational opportunity designed specifically for newer community center Executive Directors / CEO’s of CenterLink member centers and organizations. Over the course of five days, leaders are provided high quality trainings dedicated to leadership skills development with a focus on financial management, fundraising, board governance and program development and oversight. In an effort to ensure that LGBT center leaders are equipped to effectively manage their centers, this program connects them to both their fellow “new leader” peers and seasoned veteran leaders to create a solid, ongoing network of support through peer mentoring and coaching.
