Leadership Development Program for Non-Profits

Leadership Development Program: Overview

Who is this for?

Laridae’s Leadership Development Program caters to experienced leaders, as well as those new to the role. It is ideal for you if:

  • You are currently, or will be, a senior leader or volunteer board member of a non-profit organization.
  • You want to better understand the value of healthy dynamics between executive leadership and the board.
  • You want to best leverage your capacity to lead your organization to have an even bigger impact in your community.
  • You are eager to learn, have an open mind, and are willing to try new things.

What you will get out of this program

As a non-profit leader, you will graduate this program with the practical know-how you need to avoid common but costly missteps, and guide your organizations with newfound confidence and clarity.

  • Deepen your understanding of good governance
  • Develop strategic clarity for your organization
  • Manage and mitigate enterprise-wide risk
  • Lead purposeful change
  • Tell a powerful organizational story
  • Plan for leadership transition and succession
  • Increase your impact and leadership potential

United Way of Peterborough & District and Laridae are partnered to offer the Leadership Development Program again in 2021, extending our strategic partnership to increase community capacity in the non-profit sector. Registration is open now until January 15, 2021. Spaces are limited to make sure that the program is accessible to smaller, local non-profits. This partnership has enabled a scholarship opportunity where recipients can receive up to 75% contributed to their registration fee.

Today, United Way Peterborough & District is announcing an important leadership transition.

As Jim Russell prepares to retire after nearly 15 years as Chief Executive Officer, we extend our deepest gratitude for his leadership, dedication, and commitment to building a stronger community. Jim's impact on this organization and the people we serve will be felt for years to come.

At the same time, we are pleased to welcome Jason Seguya as our next Chief Executive Officer, effective July 6, 2026. Jason brings experience leading mission-driven organizations and a strong commitment to collaboration, community engagement, and positive social impact.

As we look ahead to our 85th year of serving Peterborough & County, we are excited for the future and confident in the leadership that will guide us into this next chapter.

Please join us in thanking Jim for his years of service and welcoming Jason to the United Way movement.
