New Executive Director Training

This two day training is designed for the new directors of LSC-funded, IOLTA-funded, elder law, pro bono and protection and advocacy programs, as well as for experienced directors of new programs which provide legal assistance and legal information to low income clients.

The intent of the New Executive Director training is help new directors, who typically learn on-the-job, to more quickly achieve deeper insight into their work. The training stresses both 1) knowing what should be done to lead an effective program, and 2) actually doing what needs to be done. Knowing is accomplished through an extensive set of materials, with tapes to guide self-study. Most of the training itself is devoted to doing C performing some of the most important tasks required of executive directors. Participants also will work on actual situations brought to the training by their colleagues.

The training will be conducted by John Arango, MIE Consultant, and Klaus Sitte, Execuctive Director, Montana Legal Services Association.

Topics to be covered: What is an effective legal assistance program? What is leadership, and how does it differ from management and administration? What strategies can be used to deliver services? How do you determine impact? Leading change: Why transformation efforts fail. What makes a program a good place to work at? Working effectively with a board of directors.
