A.G. Lafley: Leading Nonprofits with Business Discipline and Strategic Clarity

April 20, 2026 4:30 PM - May 11, 2026 5:30 PM (EDT)

Description

Leading Nonprofits with Business Discipline and Strategic Clarity - Presented by A.G. Lafley

 Join A.G. Lafley for two powerful sessions exploring how nonprofit leaders can apply proven business principles and effectively navigate complex, multi-stakeholder environments to drive greater impact and sustainability.

Nonprofits Are Businesses, Too: April 20, 2026 (4:30pm - 5:30PM)

Successful nonprofits do not just operate with passion. They operate with discipline, strategy, and clarity.

In this session, A.G. Lafley explores the idea that nonprofits, at their core, are businesses. Leaders will gain insight into how applying strong business principles such as clear value propositions, strategic focus, and operational excellence can strengthen mission delivery and long term sustainability.

This conversation is designed for nonprofit leaders and board members looking to elevate impact while maintaining a strong, mission driven foundation.

Navigating Complexity Leading Multi Sided Nonprofits: May 11, 2026 (4:30pm - 5:30PM)

Leading a nonprofit means balancing more than one audience and doing it well.

In this session, A.G. Lafley will dive into the unique challenge of managing multi sided organizations. Nonprofit leaders must simultaneously meet the needs of those they serve while also delivering value to donors, funders, and stakeholders.

A.G. will share insights on how to successfully navigate these competing priorities, avoid common pitfalls, and keep organizations aligned with their mission. The session will also explore where nonprofits often go off track and how leaders can proactively avoid those traps.

While his primary interest is business, Lafley shifted his personal leadership attention to private/public

partnerships to accomplish major civic goals.

While in Cincinnati, Lafley served as the founding chairman of Cincinnati Center City Development (3CDC)

from its inception in 2002 until 2010. Over the past 12 years, 3CDC has invested more than $1 billion of

mostly private dollars in the redevelopment and renewal of the downtown area.

He currently serves as the Founding CEO of The Bay Park Conservancy in Sarasota, FL.

In 2016, Lafley was asked to join the planning effort to transform 53-acres of previous city-owned land on

Sarasota Bay into a public park. The planning effort culminated in the City Commission approval of The

Bay Park Master Plan, a financial strategy and plan to finance the park, the formation of The Bay Park

Conservancy, and a long-term Public-Private partnership agreement between the City and the

Conservancy. As CEO, he leads the team that is designing and developing, co-funding, and managing,

operating and programming the park known as “The Bay.”

About The Bay

The Bay is a signature, public park in downtown Sarasota, FL that is conserving, restoring and transforming

53 acres of precious city-owned land along Sarasota Bay into a blue and green oasis. Designed to be “One

Park for All,” The Bay is open and accessible, free and welcoming to the full and rich diversity of the

community, now and for generations to come. The first 10-acre phase of the park opened in October

2022. Since opening, more than 850,000 people have visited The Bay to enjoy all that the park has to

offer.

Seats are extremely limited. Eligible leaders may register to secure a spot, and all registrations will be reviewed and confirmed prior to attendance.
