Women’s History Month: Female Non-Profit Experts Panel Discussion & Breakfast – Houston

Women’s History Month breakfast event in Houston brings together female nonprofit professionals and executives for an unfiltered panel discussion about the realities of nonprofit leadership.

Nonprofit events rarely showcase the complete picture. That includes the grant rejections, the donor manipulation, or the mission drift when major gifts come with strings attached. They also don’t show the emotional exhaustion from carrying other people’s trauma. Meanwhile, your own salary barely covers bills.

Our women leaders aren’t presenting polished fundraising success stories. Instead, they’re sharing authentic experiences from the nonprofit sector. For example, writing grants at midnight after full workdays. They also share what it’s like navigating nonprofit boards dominated by wealthy men who’ve never done the ground-level work. There is the specific toll of being expected to save the world on food bank wages.

Expect honest conversation about nonprofit burnout and compassion fatigue in social services. We’ll also cover the gender dynamics in nonprofit management. In many organizations, women do the majority of direct service work while men hold executive director positions. In addition, our nonprofit experts will discuss mission-driven work that demands everything while offering little job security. We will address the nonprofit funding cycles that create constant instability. Lastly, you’ll hear strategies for sustainable nonprofit careers that don’t require martyrdom.

These female leaders will share which nonprofit grants actually funded their vision versus those that forced compromise. They’ll also highlight the donor relationships worth cultivating versus the ones that compromise values. Additionally, they’ll discuss the leadership development programs that advanced their nonprofit careers. They’ll share the mental health resources that kept them functional. They’ll address nonprofit salary negotiations and work-life balance in mission-driven organizations. They will also talk about building nonprofit teams that center staff wellbeing alongside community impact.

Come ready for real discussion about the invisible labor in nonprofit work. We will talk about the frustration when passion gets weaponized against fair compensation. You will hear about the resilience required for long-term nonprofit leadership as a woman.

Complimentary breakfast included. Because nonprofit professionals constantly give – this morning, we’re filling your cup first.

Be an accomplice in supporting women transforming communities through nonprofit work.
