A Durable Chapter
Nonprofit Leaders
Catalyzing solutions for social good.
For two years, Utah nonprofit CEOs and executive directors have gathered monthly as the Utah Social Innovators Alliance. That room is now a Durable chapter.
What this is
A room of nonprofit leaders.
Not a networking group. A room of nonprofit CEOs and executive directors who meet monthly at rotating locations across the valley — for genuine connection, open discussion of what the sector is actually facing, shared learning, and mentorship.
The group grew out of the Utah Social Innovators Alliance, and now runs as a chapter of Durable.
Who it’s for
CEOs and executive directors.
Membership is held by the individual leader, not the organisation. If you move roles, your membership moves with you.
Open to CEOs, executive directors and other executives in leadership positions of Utah nonprofits.

Dues
Join the chapter.
Dues are tiered by organisation budget so the room stays accessible to smaller organisations. This chapter is for nonprofit CEOs and executive directors — if that is you, pick the tier that matches your annual operating budget and join.
Choose the tier that matches your annual operating budget — if you’re between bands or pick the wrong one, email hello@builddurable.co and we’ll sort it out.
Optional
The Nonprofit Leaders Peer Group
A small, confidential group that meets monthly using Durable’s peer group format. $4,000/year, separate from chapter dues. Seats are limited, so this one is by enquiry rather than direct purchase.
