Professional Development
Your Community Foundation is pleased to offer professional development opportunities for local nonprofit staff and board members. Through these offerings, we seek to enhance the skills necessary for a strong nonprofit sector.

Are you a Nonprofit Executive Director looking to engage with your peers for personal and professional development?
Join our 2025 Executive Directors’ Discussion Group (EDDG), which will address topics of interest to your organization and provide a confidential setting in which you and your peers can discuss and solve real-time problems with real-world experience. Focused topics for each meeting are provided, but broader conversations will be welcomed as well during each meeting of the EDDG.
The next EDDG meeting is scheduled for April 16, 2025, 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM. During this first EDDG meeting of 2024, the discussion will focus on “Nonprofit Leadership in Uncertain Times.” We will also use this meeting time to get input on topics of interest for future EDDG meetings.
Registration is free and open to nonprofit Executive Directors of organizations serving residents of Staunton, Waynesboro, and the counties of Augusta, Highland, and Nelson (or if your organization does not have an Executive Director, your Board Chair is invited to participate). Brian Ullman, with the Center for Nonprofit Excellence will serve as a facilitator for each meeting.
