Healing Bridges CEO Natalie Ross graduates from WCCF's Community PILLARS 2023 Program
WASHINGTON, PA - Healing Bridges CEO Natalie Ross graduated from the Washington County Community Foundation's Community PILLARS program this past November to learn from nonprofit experts how to strategically position her organization to best serve individuals and residents of local counties.
Since convening in September 2023, Ross attended six weekly charity governance classes, where she learned valuable lessons to develop her nonprofit leadership skills and gained a supportive community along the way. The PILLARS program provided in-depth educational sessions on topics such as: I. Mission, Strategy & Evaluation, II. Governance & Leadership: Board, Staff & Volunteers, III. Legal Compliance & Ethics, IV. Finance & Operations, V. Fundraising & Resource Development, and VI. Public Awareness & Advocacy
Each class was led by notable charity leaders with wide-ranging skills to ensure all participants gained admirable knowledge. Class sizes were limited to a maximum of 15 people and were held in person at The Foundation's offices in Eighty Four. The inaugural PILLARS Class of 2023 graduated this past November, and a new class will commence next fall.
