Leadership Development
Executive Coaching Program for Chapter Leaders
The Executive Coaching Program for Chapter Leaders, now a Regional CAC offering nationwide, utilizes an executive coaching model: a partnership designed to help leaders increase self-awareness, gain clarity of purpose, and develop actionable strategies to actualize their leadership vision—all while prioritizing their own wellbeing. Join us in creating space for leadership growth, connection, and innovation.
Facilitated Retreats
Every organization needs to step away from time to time to focus on connection, reflection, and the strategic goals of the organization. SRCAC provides facilitation for staff and membership retreats tailored to align with the unique goals and needs of your Chapter. Because retreats take intentional planning, we encourage you to reach out to us 6-12 months in advance of your planned gathering.
Organizational Development
Customized Support and Capacity Building for CAC/MDT Services
SRCAC works in concert with Chapter program staff to support MDTs and CACs in a variety of ways. At the state level, SRCAC provides consultation to Chapter staff on the design and delivery of programming and processes that support CAC and MDT functioning. Examples include customized MDT trainings, peer support groups, and facilitator trainings.
Strategy Sessions on Chapter Organizational Needs
SRCAC’s team has experience working at CACs, Chapters, and communications firms; serving on MDTs, and doing private consulting. Whether your issue is large or small, we’re just a phone call or email away. We offer consulting in the following areas:
- Program development
- Working with your board of directors
- Crisis response
- Document review
- HR/staff support, succession planning, leadership development
- Data and evaluation
- Statewide growth and development planning
- Stakeholder engagement and collaboration
Strategic Planning
We believe an effective Chapter is grounded by a solid strategy. SRCAC’s strategic planning process has been developed over time and is tailored to fit your Chapter’s stage of growth and development. A typical process takes six months from start to finish and engages your board, staff, membership, and partners, so we encourage you to contact us up to a year in advance. If you’re already in the midst of strategic planning for your Chapter, either on your own or with consultants, we can also offer support to you and/or your consultants to support your existing process. If strategic planning is a service your Chapter would like to offer to CACs in your state, we also provide on-the-job mentorship and professional development support to Chapter staff facilitating this process.
Board of Directors Support
For Chapter directors, working with a governance board of directors can present both challenges and opportunities. For many Chapter directors, there are often more questions than answers when they try to determine:
- “What’s my role in developing, supporting, growing, and leading the board?”
- “What’s my part in my board’s dysfunction? In my board’s success?”
- “How do I balance the needs and roles of both the board and the membership?”
SRCAC offers consultation to executive directors and their boards, as well as formal learning opportunities for cultivating strong Chapter boards.
Peer Connection
At SRCAC, we know that connection is key to driving impact and fostering growth. That’s why we’re excited to offer a Menu of Peer Connection Spaces in 2025, designed to meet the unique needs of Chapter staff across the Southern Region. These tailored spaces provide opportunities for collaboration, learning, and problem-solving with peers who truly understand your work.
