“The RLB Leadership Academy has been a great professional experience for me as a new CEO in the nonprofit space. The sessions have been very informative, and the topics are very relevant for the work of a CEO. Sharing space with other CEOs and Executive Directors was also a valuable experience, as we had an opportunity to learn from one another and build relationships and expand our network.”
