Edison State Community College
Community Leadership
partnership celebrates 15 years
The Edison State Community College Center for Leadership Development
and the Paul G. Duke Foundation are pleased to celebrate the 15th year
of their nonprofit leadership training partnership by announcing the
naming of the Paul G. Duke Academy for Community Leadership.
The Paul G. Duke Academy for Community Leadership will build on the
past success of the Academy for Community Leadership and its
culminating event, the Mosaic of Community Leadership Conference with
the addition of new technology-based resources and further nonprofit
support programs.
Through this partnership, the Paul G. Duke Academy for Community
Leadership will continue to broaden success opportunities for local
nonprofit organizations and civic leaders with the education and
resources to meet the emerging and evolving needs of the nonprofit
community across Darke, Miami, and Shelby counties.
The enhanced and expanded partnership programming aims to develop more
effective directors, leaders, board members, staff, and volunteers of
nonprofit organizations through a series of workshops. Course topics
include the fundamental practices of board recruitment, strategic
planning, staffing, budgeting, evaluation, board meetings, and
community awareness.
Creation of the Academy for Community Leadership at Edison State in
2004 was championed by Patricia Duke Robinson as she sought to capture
the energy created from the publication of The Board Member’s Guide.
Commissioned by the Duke Foundation, the book examines nonprofit
leadership and transforms it into a long-term benefit for the nonprofit
leaders in Miami and surrounding counties.
Edison State and the Duke Foundation have continued to support the
initiative since then, as part of their longstanding commitment to
strengthening regional nonprofit organizations, investing in their
leaders, and ensuring that they have access to resources needed to
enhance their ability to serve the community.
The joint announcement of the naming of the Paul G. Duke Academy for
Community Leadership was made on May 23 at Edison State Community
College in Piqua. Edison State was represented by Dr. Doreen Larson,
president, and Rick Hanes, vice president for business and community
partnerships, as well as members of the college’s board of trustees and
leadership personnel. The Duke Foundation was represented by Linda
Daniel, president, and Patricia Duke Robinson, president emeritus and
members of the Duke Board of Trustees.
