Ask a Chief of Staff: The Nonprofit Chief of Staff Exchange: A Peer Roundtable
🗓️ Join us on April 30th!
For Chiefs of Staff navigating the unique terrain of mission-driven organizations
Being a Chief of Staff in the nonprofit and NGO space comes with its own distinct set of challenges — balancing strategic and operational demands, staying connected to mission when things get hard, and translating skills across sectors that don't always speak the same language.
This peer roundtable is a space to get into the real stuff with others who get it.
We'll open with a focused lightning round on the topics you tell us matter most (you'll weigh in at registration), then move into self-directed breakouts where you can go deeper on what's most relevant to you. No panels, no presentations — just honest peer conversation.
Come ready to share, not just listen.
🎯 Topics on the table include:
Splitting your time between strategic, operational, and culture priorities
Staying connected to mission during challenging seasons
Balancing task work with strategic engagement
What performance management looks like in the nonprofit space
Translating CoS skills between nonprofit and corporate environments
Facilitated by Ask a Chief of Staff Community Manager Sarah Agopian-Khalifé, alongside community members Ashley Blake & Alexa Libre.
