Important information about the Executive Masterclass

The Executive Masterclass supports executives and senior managers in not-for-profit community sector organisations to adapt to the changing environment and learn new skills to benefit their organisations and clients.

ABOUT THE MASTERCLASS
  • Features leading thinkers who ‘span the boundaries’ of government, academia and the social service sector.
  • Topics and methodology are co-produced with participants to meet their needs.
  • Four half-day sessions, held over 12 weeks with pre-reading and discussion.
  • Participants work with peers and leading thinkers in small groups.
