Nonprofit Executive Leadership Retreat: Reaching Distant Horizons

John and Natasha Deane are partnering with Mike Wagner of the NorthStar Leadership Project to present a two-day, 1-night all-inclusive retreat for Middle Tennessee nonprofit leaders: Reaching Distant Horizons. This made-for-nonprofits leadership experience is an effort of John and Natasha Deane to help nonprofit leaders bridge the gap between the unique challenges of today and the long term needs of tomorrow. CNM is assisting with registration for this third party event.

The "Adventure in Leadership" provides an opportunity for leaders from nonprofit organizations to consider their own personal leadership journeys: 

  • to reflect on the general attributes of great leadership
  • to consider how they personally make leadership decisions and take action
  • to reflect on past successes and troubles from their own experiences
  • to build new relationships withother nonprofit leaders who face similar professional and personal challenges
  • to embrace new mindsets that will help them achieve better, long-term results for their organization, their stakeholders, and themselves

Wildwood Resort and Marina is an hour east of Nashville airport and provides beautiful accomoodations and high-tech retreat facilities. 

Retreat participation is limited to 20 spots to allow for appropriate social distancing.
