    Western New York’s nonprofit sector is home to resilient, mission-driven leaders who work tirelessly to create a stronger Western New York. But even the strongest teams need time to recharge, rethink and reimagine what’s possible.

    Goodwill of Western New York and the University at Buffalo School of Management's Center for Leadership and Global Impact are proud to offer a completely free Lunch and Learn series designed exclusively for nonprofit executives, development teams and communications leaders. Each 30-minute session is fast-paced, highly practical, and rooted in real results from organizations across our region.

    Each session is taught by Tom Ulbrich, one of the region’s leading practitioners in nonprofit innovation, organizational strategy and mission-driven growth. Ulbrich has spent decades helping organizations succeed, combining entrepreneurial thinking with practical systems that leaders can use immediately.

    This series is our investment in you and our way of giving back because when nonprofit leaders thrive, the entire community rises.
