Project Evident’s report, Center for Leadership Equity: A Community Model of Professional Development: An Early Exploration of Effectiveness, details a unique model for providing leadership support. The report describes how the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey’s Center for Leadership Equity (CLE) incubated Black Nonprofit Chief Executives of Philadelphia (BNCEP), which was designed to deepen social connectivity and build relationships in ways that go beyond traditional models for leadership development.
The report relies on focus groups, surveys, and a review of historical programmatic data to understand the results that BNCEP members reported for themselves and their organizations.
