In partnership with the Valley Baptist Legacy Foundation, the second class of our Nonprofit Leaders for Excellence program is underway. In September, we kicked off the 10-month journey with 11 incredible nonprofit leaders from the Rio Grande Valley. The group will gather monthly to learn, network, and collaborate on leadership, governance, operations, and more. Congratulations to our second cohort of leaders!

Meet the second class:
Sylvia Murphy, Su Casa De Esperanza, Inc.
Debra Franco, South Texas Juvenile Diabetes Association
Crystal Rodriguez, The Weslaco Museum
Jesus Sanchez, Children's Advocacy Center of Hidalgo and Starr Counties
Daisy Martinez, Boys & Girls Clubs of Edinburg RGV

The leaders will meet monthly through May 2024. The full-day sessions cover all aspects of effective nonprofit leadership as it relates to governance, fundraising, legal issues, staffing, communications, data evaluation, and more.
These leaders are becoming stronger and more effective, and they are building a network that is leading to collaboration and excellence.
