Project LEAD

In Greater Milwaukee and Waukesha County, too many people are left out of our public conversations. United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County is changing this with Project LEAD—Leadership Effectiveness And Diversity.

This in-depth seven-week training program prepares community members for leadership roles on nonprofit boards and committees, with an emphasis on recruiting participants from underrepresented board populations (women, racially and ethnically diverse, young professionals).

• Learn the basic responsibilities of nonprofit boards
• Understand what is expected of individual board members
• Broaden your professional networks
• Influence decisions impacting our community

Participants will have an opportunity to be connected to agencies with a mission that corresponds to the participant’s personal interests. The program’s goal is to introduce each participant to a nonprofit board within six months of program completion.
 

Spring 2020 Project LEAD Timeline

In response to the growing spread of COVID-19 in our community, we've determined that it's best to postpone the start of the Spring 2020 Project LEAD session.  United Way of GMWC has canceled all events and meetings scheduled to be held at our offices through May 8, and will adjust accordingly beyond that date.  Our number one priority is the safety and well-being of our staff, volunteers, agency partners, and the community we serve.​ 

New session dates will be announced in the coming weeks.
