About the
Partnership
Elevated Leadership is delivered through a collaborative partnership between Edmonton Chamber of Voluntary Organizations (ECVO) in Edmonton and IntegralOrg in Calgary.
Together, we are proud to offer “sister” programs in both Edmonton and Calgary—designed with a shared leadership framework while being tailored to reflect the needs and strengths of each local nonprofit community.
This collaboration is made possible through the generous support of RBC (Royal Bank of Canada), whose investment helps strengthen leadership capacity across Alberta’s nonprofit sector.
