This is Volunteer Victoria's professional development and networking group for younger nonprofit professionals in the Greater Victoria, British Columbia area. If you are a mid-20 to mid-40 something individual working in a local nonprofit organization, with an eye to holding a leadership position in the nonprofit sector in the near future, we welcome you to join this Network. Additionally, we encourage newer Executive Directors to join to take advantage of the support and learning our group provides as you get comfortable in your new leadership role.

Although this Network is made up of mostly people that work in the nonprofit sector, we also welcome individuals who work in other sectors but have leadership goals in the nonprofit sector as a volunteer (ie. board member, board chair, mentor, etc.).

This is a funded project of Volunteer Victoria, now in its second year as of May 2011. It was created to address looming leadership gaps in the nonprofit sector due to the retirement of the baby boomers which has already begun.  The major foci of the Network are networking with peers in the nonprofit sector and learning everything to do with nonprofit sector leadership - whatever leadership looks like to our members - with a particular focus on the role of the Executive Director.
