Title: From Idea to Fruition: Building an Organization from the Ground-up and the Learning Journey
Date: Mon, Nov 13th, 2023
Time: 2:30-4 pm ET / 11:30-1 pm PT
Mariya Taher is one of the five co-founders of Sahiyo. Sometimes she feels as if she accidentally started an organization, though starting an organization is by no means an easy feat (even when someone is passionate about a topic). For the past nine months, Mariya has been taking part in the VALOR LEAP program, a mentorship program for women of color leaders working in gender-based violence. In connection with her fellowship, she will be hosting a webinar she hopes will support other future nonprofit founders. Founders from across the VALOR LEAP Cohorts will come together for a discussion on what led them to found their organizations and the lessons (both challenges and successes) that they have encountered along the way. Mariya Taher will moderate, with Strong Oak Lefebvre, April Barbosa, Tonije Reese, and Sanjana Khan as speakers. Learn more about speakers here.
Objectives of Webinar:
- To hear the stories of founders of various organizations and what motivated them
- To connect founders in the gender-based violence space with one another
- To develop lessons learned and key takeaways in terms of what to know and or be aware of when considering founding an organization
