Leadership Caucus
Our cornerstone program, the Leadership Caucus, is an eight-month interactive leadership development program that uses hands-on experiences and peer learning to enable each participant to become more effective. The Caucus in enriched by Action Learning sessions which consist of participants meeting in sub-groups of four to five in between the bi-monthly full-group sessions, to focus on problem solving and practical application of leadership tools. Living Change is a day-long management simulation that replicates the challenges of leading and managing in a “typical” nonprofit organization. The Caucus includes a 360° performance evaluation and feedback session. All CRE consultants are certified 360° coaches.
See below for details on our 2011-2012 Leadership Caucus. Please note that CRE is no longer accepting applications to our 2011-2012

Leadership Caucus during the summer of 2012.

Board Leadership Caucus
We have developed a Board Leadership Caucus for board chairs which began in November 2009. It offers leadership preparation for:
- handling the complexities of volunteer governance;
- grasping the complicated financial and accountability structure of tax-exempt, publicly funded entities; and
- asserting influence in artful ways with colleague volunteers, staff, and funders given the realities of limited time and information.
The Board Leadership Caucus will be delivered in four content rich seminars and offers additional peer learning through two action learning sessions as well as the opportunity for a 360° performance evaluation and related coaching.
