Re-Imagining Leadership for the Future: Co-Directors
|
Phoebe Sinclair has joined Maria LaPage in leading our non-profit as Co-Executive Directors. We have been developing this new structure with our board and staff for the past year in response to the shifting landscape of our work, increased emphasis on anti-racism, and as we re-imagine what leadership looks like, and who fills these roles.
This bold strategic move better equips us to meet challenges of the future, adds capacity and sustainability for our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusions efforts, supports balanced decision making, and reflects the collaborative nature of our team. It’s no secret that the pandemic stretched non-profit leaders and staff, and that burnout is a major issue. Yet, the resources and social fabric that organizations like the Maria L. Baldwin Community Center help build are vital to the communities we serve and work alongside.
Rather than trying to continue on business-as-usual, we are embracing change and believe this shift will allow us to continue to be a vibrant, responsive, and forward-thinking organization.
