An Invitation to Social Change Leaders to the Art of Leadership

October 29-November 1
Westerbeke Ranch,
Sonoma CA

The Rockwood Leadership Program promotes social change through delivering expert tools in organizational leadership and collaboration to progressive non-profits.

Rockwood’s ART OF LEADERSHIP is an invitation to join a select community of social change leaders in creating and sustaining compelling visions for their organizations while dealing more effectively with organizational challenges.

THE PROGRAM:

This four-day intensive seminar is designed to teach powerful visioning, listening, speaking, presentation, coaching, team-building, and feedback skills to emerging and established leaders.

THE TRAINERS:

Toby Lynn Herzlich is a facilitator and trainer focusing on assisting grassroots organizations, public agencies, and nonprofits devoted to building community assets, fostering progressive change, and protecting cultural and natural resources. With a practice aimed toward the diverse needs of multi-cultural groups, her work has been focused in the southwestern United States, with additional clients nationally and internationally.

Roberto Vargas PhD, MSW is an educator, community organizer and organizational consultant experienced in leadership development, team-building and strategic planning services primarily to proactive organizations engaged in advocacy, community service, empowerment, and social change. He is the founder of the Porvida Council, which provides leadership training integrating cultural, social and spiritual healing.

COST:

Rockwood believes leadership can and should reflect the diverse communities in which we live and work. Reflecting our commitment, and thanks to the generous support of the foundations and donors who support us, we underwrite up to 75% of the cost of trainings for leaders whose organizations have limited resources. The sliding scale cost for this training is $500 to $2000, based on your organization’s annual budget. There will be a separate room and board fee of $369 to cover the full four-day training.
