The Shreveport Times-Program prepares young leaders to be community board members

The Shreveport Times: "Chandra Daniel thought about being a nonprofit board member but figured she was too young and didn't have the money or clout to bring to the position.

Training at LANO North cured those misconceptions.

'We are the next generation of leaders, and that's the only way we're going to learn is to actually be there and do the work,' Daniel said.

Last year, the Louisiana Association of Nonprofit Organizations launched its first Community Leaders program to teach young adults what it means to serve on a board then place them on various boards. The next session will begin with a reception Thursday."
