ED/CEO Roundtables

Break down the isolation barrier! CEN’s roundtable series is a unique monthly forum in which nonprofit leaders come together for lunch to share experiences, challenges, solutions, and leading practices. We currently offer this series to nonprofit EDs/CEOs and Leaders of Color. Each cohort meets for six months in order to deepen connections and build a community of support amongst participants.

"I have participated in the Palo Alto ED Roundtable since its inception - starting when I was a less 'seasoned' ED. During the years since then, my leadership style and abilities have evolved, aided by the shared wisdom, information, support and resources that have been available to all participants."

-Pam Brandin, Executive Director at Vista Center for the Blind
