S5:E2 -- “ED or Not to ED” a spirited chat with EmpowHER CEO, Dawn L. Brown Nonprofit on the Rocks

    • Non-Profit

“ED or Not to ED,” a spirited guide to taking nonprofit center stage and knowing when to take a bow.

Matt talks to Dawn L. Brown, CEO of the EmpowHER Institute, an organization that empowers girls and young women in marginalized communities by giving them the skills necessary through education, training and mentorship to become confident, college, and career-ready.

The pair focus on being an executive director; how to get there, what it takes when you do, and how to know when it’s time to step away. Dawn talks about the mentors who inspired her and also breaks down DEI, defining what each component really means and how to actually implement systemic change, not just use the popular term. And Matt reveals the secret to getting more of those little bottles of booze on the airplane.
