Value Added: Where Mission Meets Reality

Nonprofit leadership isn't hard because people don't care. It's hard because they do.

Every day brings decisions that pit competing priorities against one another: your mission, your staff, your board, your budget, and your community. So how do you lead when every option seems to come with tradeoffs?

Join Dr. Heather Prather, Ph.D., founder of WiseUp Coaching & Consulting, organizational psychologist, and board-certified executive leadership coach, for an honest conversation about leading through uncertainty, making difficult decisions, and staying grounded in your values when the pressure is on.

Drawing on 20 years of consulting and coaching mission-driven leaders, along with her experience as a former Chesterfield CASA board member, Heather will share practical insights and best practices for leading with both purpose and perspective, even when the path forward isn't clear.

When: Wednesday, October 21, 2026

Time: 3:00-5:00 PM

Where: Libbie Mill Library - 2100 Libbie Lake East St, Henrico, VA 23230

Cost: FREE but space is limited!
