6 Phoenixville Area Non-Profit Leaders Graduate From Leadership Institute

PHOENIXVILLE, PA — Six non-profit leaders from the greater Phoenixville area have graduated from the Phoenixville Community Health Foundation's Executive Leadership Institute, the foundation announced on Thursday.

The goal of the program was to provide the students with "self-awareness, knowledge, and experience" in order to improve their leadership skills and their capacity to impact the regional community.

Leaders who graduated from the Institute included: Joan Cadigan, Executive Director for the Phoenixville Community Education Foundation; Moriah Hall, Operations Manager at Camphill Soltane; Cecilia Jenkins, Program Manager for Self Determination Housing Project of PA; John Meisel, Operations & Planning Manager for the Transportation Association of Chester County; Robyn Slater, Program & Development Consultant of the PA Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics; and Janet Zeis, the Volunteer Management Coordinator at the Chester County Department of Emergency Services.

“As in past years, the ELI students offered thoughtful and frank feedback and recommendations that will be carefully considered by PCHF staff in a continuous effort to refine this already well designed and delivered leadership program that already boasts convincing evidence of strong positive outcomes," said John M. Kelley, PhD, an independent evaluator of the program.

The group studied leadership from a variety of lenses, including presentations from individuals in the non-profit and for-profit organizations, from academia, and from other sectors.

The 10-month curriculum accepts classes of 12 students and is open to executive directors, program managers, and other staff identified as future leaders.
