Join us for NCDA’s Leadership Institute, a four-course interactive training for new and experienced supervisors and managers in the community development field. Courses include:   1) Team Building, 2) Management, 3) Leadership, and 4) Communication.

This fourth course in the series is online and provides the convenience of self-paced learning while also incorporating deadlines to keep participants on track. Timely instructor feedback ensures that learners receive guidance and support when needed. Additionally, live Zoom sessions offer opportunities for real-time interaction and discussion. Course content is designed with specific examples directly applicable to managing CDBG and HOME programs. Peer-to-peer networking will be invaluable as participants work through issues related to the following learning objectives (see course agenda on the following page):

 

  • Explain how to listen actively and respond productively to others.  
  • Develop proficiency in public speaking techniques tailored specifically for community development professionals, enabling effective communication and engagement within diverse community settings.
  • Identify data to collect and share to drive meaningful conversations about perceived and actual community needs. 
  • Design an engaging workshop for community stakeholders 
  • Create an annual social media brief and content calendar to promote programs and accomplishments.
  • Evaluate constituent experience and how your department can facilitate a better customer journey.  
  • Identify key politicians and how to align community development goals with their top priorities while addressing potential pitfalls and roadblocks to effective communication. 
  • Explore strategies for navigating conflicts between community needs and council priorities and develop skills for handling such situations effectively.
