Welcome to the Council of Agency Executives.
The Council of Agency Executives (COAE) convenes leaders and builds peer-to-peer collaboration through our programs and networking. To support and elevate your leadership, COAE offers professional development and thought-leadership content sharing best practices, celebrating progress and collectively solving issues vexing our organizations.
Partners with a Purpose
Our Vision: A stronger, more vibrant and caring community because of excellence in nonprofit leadership.
Our Mission: To inform, inspire and support nonprofit executives who strive to lead with excellence.
COAE unites organizations to learn, collaborate and build a more sustainable future together. We provide tools, resources and platforms for education, information and peer-to-peer networking to support leaders dedicated to growing and improving their organizations.
Purpose: As the region's convener of nonprofit organizations, of our work includes:
- Facilitating the exchange of ideas, best practices and transfer of knowledge for current and aspiring leaders
- Leading the conversation(s) on issues and trends supported by research, data and analytics
- Encouraging engagement and thoughtful leadership through networking, programs and events
Our members include a wide spectrum of nonprofits, from the very large to the very small. Collectively, members invest over 1 billion dollars in the Greater Rochester area, and employ more than 20,000 individuals. The services they provide help more than 1,000,000 people each year. (Note: This number includes duplications since beneficiaries may be served by more than one agency)
The Council is a product of its history, its mission, its members and its leadership. We are continually evolving and growing, bringing together some of the most dynamic, trusted, and forward-thinking community leaders. Our members are challenged daily to meet the needs of their constituents with fewer and fewer resources. They are experts in their respective disciplines, and make productive, contributing partners in community planning efforts. The Council provides access for those seeking the kind of experience and expertise our members have and share.
