Successful Nonprofit Leadership featuring Michael Barry with ONE and Pamela Keefe with National Bank of Arizona and David Henderson with STARS

Successful nonprofit leadership requires a unique set of traits. Humility to receive help; finesse to balance creativity and productivity; and, the passion and ability to speak to (and manage) the mission through projects, initiatives and stakeholder relationships. Today we connect with a few executive leaders with the Organization for Nonprofit Executives (ONE) as they share how this organization provides professional development, education, information and networking opportunities to the Chief Executive Officers and Executive Directors for Arizona nonprofits.

ONE, or the Organization for Nonprofit Executives, is a Phoenix-based nonprofit dedicated to providing professional development, education and information, and networking opportunities to the Chief Executive Officers and Executive Directors of Phoenix-area nonprofits.

Founded in 1998, ONE is the only organization dedicated to servicing the needs of the nonprofit chief executive population. Its regular speaker series spotlights industry experts in a variety of relevant topics, including governance, changes in the tax laws, and marketing and branding. Its annual Leader Day event celebrates the chief executives of nonprofits by recognizing their achievements in innovation and outstanding community partnership.

ONE has recently embarked on an ambitious agenda which is designed to substantially expand its member offerings, enhance the overall member experience, and reach a greater number of nonprofits in Phoenix and throughout Arizona.

Michael Barry was appointed as Executive Director of ONE in March of 2018 and is the first individual to hold this position. Previously, he worked as Director of Business Development for Experience Matters, where he directed a team responsible for placing individuals with a lifetime of experience in nonprofits who could directly benefit from that experience. Prior to that he was both an Encore Fellow and a consultant to the American Lung Association in Arizona.

Michael spent the majority of his career in the financial services sector, retiring from American Express in 2012 as Vice President of Business Development Strategy for the Corporate Services division.
