GLOBAL LEADERSHIP FORUM (GLF) (www.glfglobal.org) 

GLF is a leadership and development  program for executive directors and senior staff of U.S.-based global non-profit (NGO), philanthropic and other organizations. The program consists of three retreats over three seasons, with monthly meetings in between. One participant commented:     
At  the end of the day, the connections amongst other INGO leaders and the support systems we created are what will remain  important. Communication about industry standards, best practices etc. are vital but not nearly as important as  remaining open and genuinely curious about the world and ways that leaders are addressing pivotal issues around poverty.   GLF took me out of my comfort zone so that I could enter into a new level  leadership.
