“Participating in the NYFA Emerging Leaders Boot Camp was an incredibly valuable and treasured experience. The
content of the program spanned many areas of the nonprofit arts sector and featured insightful, knowledgeable presenters.
I was able to immediately implement learnings in my daily work as an arts administrator and I can envision carrying
lessons with me well into my career. Most significant, however, has been the experience of connecting with the NYFA
learning team and my fellow Boot Camp participants. This cohort of dedicated, forward-thinking individuals continue to
inspire me and I am forever grateful to NYFA for bringing us together in this meaningful way.”- Maria Fumai Dietrich,
Membership and Individual Giving Manager, Parrish Art Museum (https://parrishart.org/)

"My experience in NYFA's Emerging Leaders Boot Camp was overwhelmingly positive. Entering the program, I was
overwhelmed with the disorganization and hectic infrastructure of nonprofit work, but now I feel reenergized and have
concrete tools to implement when faced with challenges in the future." - Katie Rainey, Director of Teaching Artist Project,
Community-Word Project (http://communitywordproject.org/)

This was a professional development experience like no other in which I have participated. Apart from the very useful
information and training we received from the excellent NYFA team, there was a real sense of dedication to our individual
development and to the development of lasting professional relationships among the participants. I not only feel better
prepared to tackle the tough challenges of leadership, but also know that I have my cohort to rely on for advice and
support. The relationships I developed with the other participants in the Emerging Leaders Boot Camp are one of the most
precious take-aways from this program. We shared fears, challenges and frustrations, but also identified strengths, built
support and now have a network of passionate leaders with diverse strengths on which we can rely.” - Zachary Bowman,
Manager of Education and Visitor Experience, Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art (https://www.newpaltz.edu/museum/)

The Emerging Leaders Boot Camp is made possible with the generous support of American Express.
