Non-Family Staff Peer Network: Supporting Family Engagement and Philanthropic Impact through Conflict and Systems

There are many priorities to consider when balancing family engagement with philanthropic impact. How do you navigate your role as a non-family staff leader? And how can you work with your board to develop systems that support formal and informal decision making to advance the foundation’s mission and goals? Join Dr. Rebecca Trobe for an interactive discussion. Dr. Trobe works at the intersection of money and meaning, family, and leadership. She will provide guidance on how to use your leadership to effectively engage with your board before, during, and after family foundation board meetings.

NCFP’s Non-family Staff Peer Network, chaired by Denise Porche, Steve Toben, and Kim Wright, is designed for senior level non-family staff members who work at family foundations in NCFP’s Friends of the Family network. This time is peer-directed, with NCFP staff and other outside experts serving as resources. Join your peers and build a network of colleagues facing the unique challenges, complications, and joys that are inherent in this role.
