BELONG Partners, in alignment with our values, is committed to equity and to sharing power. In 2023, following the departure of the Executive Director, the Board of Directors asked three staff members within the organization to serve as an interim leadership council while a collaborative board & staff work group explored leadership structures for non-profit organizations. Based on the work group’s learning and feedback from key stakeholders, BELONG Partners is pleased to continue with a shared leadership model which is aligned with our strategic plan.
Shared leadership at BELONG Partners fosters a collaborative environment where diverse perspectives are valued and decision making is distributed among team members. This approach increases transparency, staff engagement, and allows Individuals at all levels to contribute their unique talents and ideas. By embracing shared leadership, BELONG Partners is better positioned to achieve our vision and create positive impact in the communities we serve.
