Celebrating the Spring 2025 IMI Cohort

Too often, interim leadership is the quiet force behind a nonprofit’s successful transition. But these leaders are mission-critical, bringing stability, clarity, and momentum to organizations during pivotal moments.

PMA Nonprofit Leadership was honored to facilitate the Spring 2025 Interim Management Institute (IMI), a program developed by Kathy Ridge and expanded by Armstrong McGuire & Associates. Over the course of six interactive sessions, this cohort of accomplished professionals came together to strengthen their skills, share experiences, and prepare to step into leadership roles that drive lasting impact.
