Our Story
After over 40 years of combined service as Executive Directors of City Year and Leadership Greater Washington, Jeff and Tim came to the realization that running a nonprofit was both fulfilling and exhilarating yet exhausting and sometimes lonely. Having both participated and led numerous leadership development programs, they decided the best way to serve their fellow nonprofit leaders was to create on organization that could fill the desire for both community amongst peers and the individual coaching to expand their leadership compass. Thus, TLI was born.
