We are so excited to welcome Dr. Harriet Harral the Executive Director of Leadership Fort Worth (LFW) to Pro Bono Perspectives! LFW is a Texas-based nonprofit that is among the oldest community leadership-development programs in the nation. Harriet has acquired expertise in organizational effectiveness and leadership development through her experience working in not only the non-profit sector but also the public and corporate sectors. Talk about a cross-sector leader! Under Harriet’s leadership, LFW’s programs develop promising and diverse people for leadership roles, enabling the community to plan for the future. Common Impact and LFW having developed a strong partnership over the years, having worked together on 5 (you heard that right!) skills-based volunteer opportunities addressing technology needs at LFW.
In the Fort Worth area and interested in getting involved in LFW’s programs? One of their signature programs is called LeadingEdge, which offers Fort Worth’s emerging leaders an opportunity to strengthen leadership practices, create connections with community leaders and move beyond volunteerism into board service and Community Trusteeship. Deadline to apply is November 2nd – there’s still time!
