Developing strong leadership skills is vital for navigating the challenges and opportunities that come with guiding nonprofit organizations. In today’s shifting landscape, Jewish nonprofit leaders are grappling with a range of pressing issues and the need to adapt to a rapidly changing environment. To effectively address these challenges, leaders must cultivate competencies in strategic vision, communication, and adaptability. By strengthening these leadership skills, Jewish nonprofit executives can guide their organizations to fulfill their missions, support their communities, and create a lasting, positive impact.

With this in mind, Leading Edge is excited to announce the launch of the sixth cohort of Leading Executives. This transformative program brings together a diverse group of executive leaders from Jewish nonprofit organizations across North America, each poised to deepen their leadership abilities in profound ways. Throughout the program, running from August to early 2026, participants will have the opportunity to sharpen their leadership skills, engage in personalized growth experiences, and collaborate with fellow cohort members.

The following leaders will participate in the sixth cohort of Leading Executives:

Research by Leading Edge consistently shows that the connections leaders make with their peers within the Jewish nonprofit sector are invaluable. Leading Executives is designed to foster these meaningful connections, giving participants the chance to collaborate, share experiences, and grow together in a supportive environment. As recent participants have shared, the program helped them gain clarity in their leadership roles, improved their conflict resolution abilities, and strengthened their communication skills.

By the end of this cohort, the participants will be equipped with the tools, resources, and a lasting network that will empower them to lead their organizations with confidence and vision.
