Leadership. Organizations of all types may succeed or fail on the strength of their leaders, and NYSSA is no different. From decision making to the establishment of an organizational culture where staff and volunteers feel welcome, included and empowered to contribute, strong leadership ensures that we have the direction and resources needed to meet our goals. Leadership typically involves a partnership between the staff team and a board of directors, supported by engaged volunteers who serve as the members’ eyes and ears, and provide direction and counsel to the Executive Director and other staff.
