Event details
Nonprofit leaders in New Mexico often navigate complex and layered challenges — including limited capacity, diverse cultural contexts, and the realities of working in rural communities. This session creates space for BIPOC nonprofit leaders to explore practical approaches to leadership that are both grounded and sustainable.
Blending mindfulness practices with nonprofit leadership tools, this workshop supports participants in strengthening equity, cultural humility, and resilience in their daily work. Through guided reflection and shared learning, participants will consider how to align leadership practices with community values while navigating real-world constraints.
Participants will leave with tangible tools, shared commitments, and renewed energy to support their work and communities.
