Employers, when was the last time someone offered you a great developmental opportunity for your employees for free—and it was actually free?

Well, have I got a deal for you! We call it our Loaned Executive Program. Among the graduates of our program are elected officials and corporate and nonprofit leaders. Here’s how it works:

Your organization loans United Way an employee for three to four months (August through Thanksgiving).. The employee stays on your payroll but works full-time with us on our campaign (fundraising) staff.

They learn how to conceptualize and manage projects from start to conclusion. They learn how to make presentations in front of large and small groups.

They learn how to strategize and implement targeted campaigns and how to train and facilitate individuals and groups of individuals to achieve goals.

And they do this working side-by-side with my staff in hundreds of different workplaces all over the five-county region we serve (Amador, El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento and Yolo).

So you’ve got a rising star in your organization for whom you would like to provide a no-tuition developmental opportunity, I’d love to talk to you about it.
