Ten organizations.
One founding seat each.
A 6-month leadership development series for the staff and board of LGBTQ+ organizations — not a class for individual EDs, but a standing that belongs to your whole organization.
This isn’t a seminar for your ED. It’s a standing for your organization.
Founding Partner status is an organizational commitment, priced and structured differently from a public cohort seat. It’s built for the leadership team and board carrying the mission — together.
Your whole leadership team, not one seat
Staff and board are invited in together — this builds a shared leadership language across your organization, not one person’s individual growth.
Rate locked before public launch
Founding Partners lock in this pricing for the full 6-month series. Once all 10 seats are filled, the program opens to the public at standard rates.
Built from real cohort material
Every session is drawn from live leadership cohorts Noris has run directly with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC leaders — not theory, tested facilitation.
Kicking off this month
The founding cohort begins now. Organizations that join later join the next public cycle — at the public rate.
Built for people carrying real weight.
90 minutes each, spaced monthly. Every session pairs a facilitated conversation with a take-home worksheet your team keeps using long after the call ends.
Values & Voice
Naming what you actually stand for — and speaking from it instead of around it.
Commanding the Room
Executive presence — silencing the imposter voice, showing up as the authority you already are.
Resilience, No Burnout
Sustainable leadership for people doing high-stakes, high-emotion work for the long haul.
Inclusive Leadership
Building teams and coalitions where people actually feel safe to contribute.
Community Building & Mentorship
Cultivating the relationships that move organizing work — and careers — forward.
Impact & Legacy
Leading under pressure now, and thinking beyond the current fight to what you’re building toward.
Simple to say yes to.
“Peer LGBTQ+ organizations across California are already stepping into Founding Partner status — locking in this rate before the program opens more broadly.”
