Meet the 2024 Career Pathways Cohort

The new year brings new opportunities for growth, and nothing demonstrates that more than our Career Pathways program. This selective leadership development program cultivates bold, representative, and inclusive decision-makers – and that’s exactly what you’ll find with the 24 members of the 2024 cohort. 

Starting in March and continuing through November, participants will take part in skill-building and strength-defining experiences, which include defining leadership styles and strengths and completing case studies or capstones addressing specific barriers to equity impacting their organization or the broader philanthropic sector. 

Participants will engage with peer circles, live and virtual learning sessions, individual executive coaching meetings, and more through learning modules that focus on individual, field, and organizational leadership. Last year was our first cohort to meet in person since 2019, and we’re excited to gather in-person again this year during select learning sessions in Washington D.C. and another location to be announced soon. 

Not only will participants graduate with a clear definition of their authentic way of leading and the enhanced skills and network to leverage it right away, but they’ll also leave with elevated career advancement prospects - nearly 90 percent of Career Pathways graduates are now senior-level executives within foundations. 

So without further ado, meet the members of the 2024 cohort, representing philanthropic organizations across the country. We can’t wait to kick off this program!
