| BLACK LEADERSHIP MATTERS: BLACK NONPROFIT CEO’s Thursday, August 3, 2023 Noon – 1:30 pm CT Webinar format There is no charge to attend Moderator: Tiffany Echevarria – Collective Action for Youth Executive Director Panelists: Brandi Brown HYPE Freedom School, Inc. Executive Director Cheronda Bryan Intertwined Executive Director and Founder Keith E. Cornelius Urban Enrichment Institute Executive Director The role of the top executive in any nonprofit organization is fraught with challenges; however, the experience of Black Leaders serving in these roles is distinct in that the barriers they face are rooted in institutional and systemic racism embedded into expectations over generations.

This session is brought to you through a partnership between United Way of Greater Houston and the Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership at Rice University. |
