TAC Leadership Trainings
LEVEL UP LEADERSHIP & CULTURE IN YOUR DISTRIBUTED WORKFORCE
The Technical Assistance Collaborative (TAC) is a collaboration of local Jewish Funders and JUF, delivered in partnership with Boardified. Together, we provide support to Chicago-area Jewish organizations to clarify problems resulting from the COVID-19 crisis, identify solutions, and scale recommendations.
During this past year, managers have had to navigate what feels like crisis after crisis, leaving many feeling burned out, exhausted, and stuck. In partnership with sr4 Partners, we want to offer Chicago-area Jewish organizations the tools to successfully manage, engage and motivate teams in a virtual or hybrid environment. These sessions are designed to help you navigate uncertainty and fuel your organization's mission by creating clarity, improving connection and enhancing culture.
