As we have learned from CompassPoint's nonprofit executive leadership study, Daring to Lead, women are twice as likely as men to lead a nonprofit, yet women lead only slightly more than half of nonprofits with budgets greater than $10 million and make less than their male counterparts in nonprofits of every size.

supporting female Executive Directors. The Leadership Academy for Women Executive Directors of Color and the Leadership Academy of Women Executive Directors Serving Underserved Communities and Women Executives in Rural Missouri will take place from September 2009 through August 2010 throughout Missouri.
Twelve women will be selected for each Academy Program to enroll in a 10-month "leadership learning path" that will train and support them to be more effective leaders and decision-makers.
