IGNITE:  Building Resilience

Summary and Goals

IGNITE is ACS’ signature leadership development program.  Our new series of IGNITE will focus on Building Resilience in four key areas:
  • Organizational resilience
  • Strategic resilience
  • Operational resilience
  • Financial resilience


Through thematic seminars, consultation workshops, and by deploying practical tools, IGNITE equips C-suite NGO leaders, Board Directors, and future leaders with the knowledge and the practical toolkit to build and maintain the necessary resilience in different aspects of an NGO. With peer learning and shared experiences from a network of fellow NGO leaders and other Igniters, NGO leaders are supported to be effective changemakers even in challenging environments. 

Each seminar (and its follow-on Consultation Workshop) will focus on a different resilience pillar, and you are strongly encouraged to attend all the sessions in order to reap maximum benefit from this series of seminars. Attendance at the relevant seminar is required in order to apply to attend the follow-on consultation workshop.
