Leadership Programs
The GWSCPA is pleased to offer two different leadership programs for our members. If you are interested in participating in any of Fall 2023 Leadership programs, please contact Meghan Jenkins, mjenkins@gwscpa.org
Margaret DeBoe Leadership Program
Firm partners often tell us that they wish their younger staff had stronger management, communication or other “soft” skills," that they were more invested in a career in public practice or that they could step up to business development roles more effectively. Even the best technicians will struggle to advance in firms if they cannot master these leadership qualities, and we think this is an area where the GWSCPA can better serve our members. The Society and Foundation board and staff have developed a new leadership program that we piloted in 2016 with great success and have since had over 100 graduates.
Nonprofit Leadership Program
In 2016 we launched the Margaret DeBoe Leadership Program for firm staff, we hear often from Firm partners that they wish their younger staff had stronger management, communication or other “soft” skills, that they were more invested in a career in public practice or that they could step up to business development roles more effectively. We had great success with the firm program and felt that a lot of these soft skills that we focused on for firm staff could be just as useful for nonprofits. We worked to develop a similar leadership program targeted specifically for nonprofits and offered a highly successful pilot Nonprofit Leadership Program in 2018.
