For the first time, United Way of Blount County is hosting a cohort for nonprofit leaders. Through four 90-minute sessions, you will gain the skills you need to confidently lead your organization throughout any season.



It’s not about doing more. It’s not about doing less. It’s about giving you permission and the tools to not burn out.



Two sessions will be facilitated by Sheri Traxler, M.Ed., a podcast host and experienced leadership coach in the nonprofit sector. The other two sessions will be peer-to-peer, allowing you to learn from your colleagues and hold each other accountable.
