What is the LEAD Program?

The NAHRO LEAD Program is a transformative experience designed for housing and community development professionals who want to build confidence, strengthen their leadership capabilities, and expand their influence. Whether you’re stepping into a new leadership role or preparing for what’s next, this program provides the support, tools, and connections to help you grow.
Through six interactive learning sessions — plus leadership assessments, mentorship, peer collaboration, and practical leadership development experiences — participants gain valuable skills to lead teams effectively, navigate challenges with confidence, communicate with purpose, and drive meaningful results.
