As Trident United Way sharpens its mission focus, supporting the financial stability of Tri-County families, we’ve made the difficult decision to retire the Lead United board training program. While this program has developed many strong nonprofit leaders, this change allows us to align resources with our evolving mission and strategic priorities. We're proud of the work we have done with Lead United, and proud of our graduates and the work they are doing in our community. We remain committed to strengthening local leadership and will continue explore new ways to support our local nonprofit partners in the future.
If you would like more information on board service resources please reach out to Katherine Torbush, Director of Strategic Volunteer Engagement, at ktorbush@tuw.org.
Training Tomorrow's Leaders to Build a United Tri-County
We'll connect you to community-minded people who want to make a difference in the Tri-County region.
Lead United is a comprehensive community leadership and nonprofit board development program. The purpose of Lead United is to equip participants with necessary skills to serve on a nonprofit board of directors. This six week program focuses on educating professionals and skill-building for board-level service opportunities. Additionally, participants will increase their understanding of community challenges for deeper engagement.
During the program, participants will learn from content experts at Trident United Way and a myriad of community partners. Additionally there will be an opportunity to engage with a panel of community members currently serving on a variety of nonprofit boards.
