The United Way of the Midlands is now accepting applications for its Blueprint for Leadership program, with a deadline of January 21.<\/p>\n
This unique eight-week leadership and board development training is specifically designed to prepare participants for impactful roles in the nonprofit sector. As the Midlands’ only professional development course with a dedicated focus on nonprofit leadership, Blueprint for Leadership aims to create skilled and passionate board members who can drive meaningful change.<\/p>\n
“We’re excited about the 2025 Blueprint for Leadership cohort,” said Elliott Epps, United Way’s Director of Leadership and Capacity Building. “This program is more than just professional development; it’s about sparking a passion for service and equipping individuals with the diverse talents needed to shape our community’s future.”<\/p>\n
The program features a progressive curriculum combining classroom learning with hands-on activities. Topics include nonprofit law, board member responsibilities, strategic leadership, and governance best practices. Classes begin in February 2025, conclude in May, and culminate with a graduation ceremony in June.<\/p>\n
Businesses are encouraged to sponsor emerging leaders from their teams. The sponsorship fee is $900 for corporate participants and $450 for those from public sector or nonprofit organizations.<\/p>\n
