CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2022 COHORT OF THE CATALYSTS FOR CHANGE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM!!
For the past nine weeks, each Catalyst has remained committed and eager to learn during every session. The Catalysts for Change Leadership Program has prepared them to serve their community as executive leaders and board members. During their graduation, the cohort was able to connect with nonprofit leaders who are seeking new board members. They also heard a powerful keynote message from the Honorable Tabetha Wilson. We are proud of them and look forward to seeing them shine in the Capital Region! We are also very grateful for Queen Daquetta Jones, CFGCR’s Director of Equity and Inclusion Initiatives, all the presenters, facilitators and caterers that supported the journey and nourished the 2022 CFC Cohort.
