MSDE Approved | CPD #25-68-13 | 5 CPD Credits | 10-Week Hybrid Executive Experience

🟨 The Leadership Problem

Most leaders were trained to manage operations.

Few were trained to redesign systems.

Poverty shows up in:

• Fragmented service delivery
• Burnout and staff fatigue
• Reactive policy decisions
• Misaligned resources
• Stalled community outcomes

🟨Program Structure

 

✔ 10-Week Hybrid Format
✔ Live Strategic Dialogue Sessions
✔ Applied Leadership Assignments
✔ Systems-Level Case Studies
✔ Capstone Strategy Development
✔ 5 MSDE CPD Credits


Built for working professionals. Designed for real-world application.

🟨 Why Leaders Enroll 

Leaders Don’t Enroll for Information.
They Enroll for Alignment.

Participants join because:

• They are responsible for outcomes.
• They are navigating complex equity conversations.
• They want structured tools — not surface-level training.
• They are preparing for advancement or renewal.
• They are ready to lead at a systems level.

🟨 Scarcity + Urgency

  • Enrollment Is Limited

  • Cohorts are intentionally small to preserve executive-level dialogue.

  • Next Cohort Begins: March 16, 2026

  • Application Deadline: March 9, 2026

🟨 Final Close 

  • The question is not whether poverty impacts your system.

  • The question is whether your leadership strategy is equipped to address it.​

✔ Identify structural drivers of inequity
✔ Align strategy with outcomes
