What is 5 Good Ideas Make Them Great?

Five Good Ideas is a FREE leadership development program being offered to support the talented leaders in North Carolina’s nonprofit community. The nonprofit sector is a vital component in creating and sustaining healthy communities; and the management of nonprofit organizations requires passionate, talented and skilled leadership. It is our intention to support leaders as they implement good ideas into great practice.

Specifically, Five Good Ideas is designed to:

• Increase networking opportunities for nonprofit leaders 
• Enhance management and leadership skills 
• Aid in the reduction of organizational turnover by increasing the effectiveness of, and resources available to, nonprofit leaders

How does it work?

We initiate a discussion of five good ideas, and ask attendees to transform them into great practice.

Twenty-five nonprofit leaders participate in a three-week program. In the first part of the program, we convene for a four-hour session (lunch is provided) during which an industry or issue expert initiates a conversation on five practical ideas and explores with attendees how they can utilize these ideas to further their organization’s mission. At the conclusion of the presentation, participants network in small groups to brainstorm how to specifically implement these ideas into their work.

Three weeks following the convening, attendees will be asked to respond to an electronic survey and share their consideration of at least one of the new ideas. Information from the session will be posted on the BCBSNC Foundation Web site.

When is the next session?

Our next session is Wednesday, September 15 from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in High Point.

Registration will open on August 2. Please check back to our Web site at that time. Registration will close on September 7 or before if the session is full.
