February 1, 2012

Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Orlando |
Please join your Florida foundation CEO
and board member colleagues for FPN's inaugural CEO & Board
Dialogue & Dinner, which is being held the evening before the start of
FPN's 2012 Statewide Summit on Philanthropy.
The
dialogue and dinner program will feature an engaging look at
the challenges and opportunities facing foundation leaders
today. In a world of economic instability and globalization,
philanthropic leadership requires different skills tailored
to an environment of urgency, high stakes and uncertainty.
This type of adaptive change generates resistance, and
exercising leadership can be difficult and dangerous. What
are the leadership skills and tools needed when the future
is not only unknown but unknowable?
The dialogue will be led by Marty Linsky, Co-Founder of
Cambridge Leadership Associates, an international expert on
adaptive leadership. Linsky will engage participants in a
thought-provoking talk around the challenges for Florida
foundation leaders to constantly adapt if they want to
remain relevant and impactful with their work in today's
constantly changing times. Joining Linsky in leading the
conversation will be a group of foundation CEO and board
leaders who have guided
their foundations through change in today's environment
packed with serious and unfamiliar challenges. |

chief executives and board members of Florida foundations
