what we do

Leading in the not-for-profit sector can be daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. At LEAD, we support community CEOs and board members, helping you embrace the skills, knowledge and confidence needed for impactful change.

With over 28,000 charities in New Zealand, not for profits face intense scrutiny. Leading in this space is courageous but often messy work - let us help you LEAD the way.

who we are

Since 1999, the LEAD team has provided training to thousands of community leaders and boards, spoken at conferences, and written multiple published papers and resources on effective leadership and governance.

No matter your mission, whether it’s promoting kiwi living in suburban backyards, combating child trafficking or empowering the deaf community to have their voice heard, your organisation requires sound, professional and effective governance.

The team at LEAD understands these challenges. We are experts in non-profit governance and organisational capability building.

Let us help you transition from good to great, maintain optimism and passion and build a more just and inclusive world.
