Originally convened in 2014 by the Human Services Coalition, the Executive Exchange affinity group provides opportunities for area not-for-profit executive directors to share, learn, and discuss topics relevant to their sector.
Mission
Executive Exchange (ExEx) supports and inspires not-for profit executive directors in Tompkins County through personal and professional growth, and networking opportunities that embody diversity, equity, and inclusion in all we do.
Vision

Equity. We make the organization accessible and inclusive, work to remove barriers and cultivate emerging leaders.
Community. We share and mobilize ideas and resources, collaborating and being intentionally welcoming and inclusive.
