June 16 | M&T Bank Workshop: Wearing All the Hats: Moving from Reactive to Strategic Non-Profit Leadership
Tuesday, June 16 | Virtual
10AM – 11:30AM
Presented by: Courtney Joly-Lowdermilk, M.S.Ed., REACH Leadership
Non-profit leaders are visionaries who build with lean teams, often stepping into whatever
role keeps the mission moving. Over time, however, that adaptability can lead to chronic
overload, blurred responsibilities, and reactive decision-making. This foundational workshop
uses real scenarios, facilitated discussion, and actionable reflection to help attendees clarify
roles—even within small or resource-constrained teams, identify and map their current “hat
overload”, reduce friction and decision-making bottlenecks, and apply simple, structured
frameworks to strengthen ownership and accountability. Participants will leave with a
concrete 30-day action plan to implement immediately.
OUR PRESENTER:
Courtney Joly-Lowdermilk, M.S.Ed., is the CEO of REACH Leadership, a coaching firm that
helps individuals strengthen role clarity to strengthen team relationships, collaboration, and
productivity. A published author, researcher, and educational entrepreneur, Courtney has led
the implementation of over 20 renowned educational interventions across the country and
internationally. She has called the North Shore home for over 18 years, and loves working
with local leaders and business owners.
