The Nonprofit Playbook

All episodes

Episode 16

A conversation with Courtney Lockridge & Emerita Flores

Co-Founders, Impact LA

From co-workers to co-founders — how two nonprofit veterans built Impact LA to fill the gaps they kept seeing, recruiting board members for the expertise they bring and leaning on in-kind partnerships rather than fundraising alone.

Episode 15

A conversation with Lena Wilson

President & CEO, Vista Del Mar

From teen volunteer to administrator, law graduate and chief executive — the many pieces it takes to lead a nonprofit that has been making a difference for 118 years, and to keep it evolving without drifting from its mission.

Episode 14

A conversation with Renae Williams Niles

Board Member, Dance Hall of Fame

Four decades across arts leadership, grantmaking, education and board service — on defining impact beyond the usual metrics, building stronger boards, and keeping dance visible and supported for the next generation.
