The SBEP and is designed for CEOs, entrepreneurs, business owners and presidents of small businesses, while the NPEP is for executive directors, presidents and CEOs of nonprofit organizations. Graduates emerge with the skills and training needed to capitalize on business opportunities, implement best practice management and turn challenges into strategic advantage. Participants represent a variety of industries.
“Our unique programs give these leaders real world examples and tactics they can use to take their organizations to the next level,” said Jennifer Kovach, director of the Jim Moran Institute’s South Florida Operations. “There is a great deal that small businesses and nonprofit leaders learn from one another and we enjoy connecting and collaborating with these groups each session.”
"I enjoyed the opportunity to learn from my classmates," said Ashley Walker of Smoothie Me Please, who is a graduate of the Small Business Executive Program. "The times when everyone would share personal testimonials and how they overcame them were the truly magical moments."
The SBEP and NPEP consist of nine sessions, each focusing on a specific aspect of growing and managing a business or nonprofit. Starting in January and running through May, the sessions will be held in-person once every two weeks from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Applicants must be actively involved in running a business, be the key decision-maker and their company must have been established for at least three years and have three or more employees (or volunteers for nonprofits).
Program graduates receive a certificate and have the opportunity to be a part of an ongoing peer roundtable. They are also encouraged to participate in workshops, conferences and other Jim Moran Institute events. Since 2009, the South Florida team has guided and graduated 41 classes through its executive programs.
