In this episode of the Unfiltered Nonprofit Podcast, we speak with Nick Neuheimer, CEO of the Canadian Association of Radiologists, about his path into nonprofit leadership and why he helped start the Ottawa Association Executive Network (OAEN).
Nick shares how he moved from a career in economics to association management, eventually becoming a CEO and earning his Certified Association Executive(CAE) designation along the way. Through that journey, one theme kept coming up: the importance of connection.
After years of virtual meetings and isolated leadership roles, Nick saw a clear need for a space where nonprofit and association professionals could meet face-to-face, learn from each other, and build relationships. That’s what led to the launch of OAEN. More than just networking events, the sessions are focused on real issues—like advocacy, governance, and succession planning—offering practical insights and a chance to talk honestly with peers.
In this conversation, Nick and Cherry discuss:
- How peer networks can support leaders through tough decisions
- Why in-person connection still matters, especially in hiring
- The role of OAEN in helping leaders at all stages of their careers
- And how creating space for shared learning can strengthen the entire sector
If you’re looking for a community of nonprofit and association leaders who are open, curious, and committed to learning—this episode is for you.
