How to add a Leader to a program
Learn how to add a Leader to a program in POINT — an organizational tag for contacts that does not grant admin access.
Leaders let you tag a contact as a point person for a program, for organizational purposes. This role does not grant any admin access or permissions. If you need to give someone actual admin rights over a program, see What can a Program Coordinator do in POINT instead.
How to add a Leader to a program
- In the left menu, click Organization, then select Programs.
- Find the program you want to update and click it to open the Program Details page.
- Open the Leaders tab.
- Click + Add Leader to Program.

- Search for the contact by name or email and check the box next to their name.

- Click Add. The contact now appears in the Leaders list for this program.

📝 Note: Leaders are for organizational purposes only. This role does not grant any admin access or permissions
Leader vs. Program Coordinator — what's the difference?
- Leader: a visual tag on a contact within a program. Useful for identifying who leads or represents a program internally — no dashboard access is granted.
- Program Coordinator: an actual admin role (available on the Teams plan) that gives someone real permissions to manage a specific program — events, contacts, and reporting for that program. To assign this role, go to Organization → Team and invite or edit a teammate's role. Learn more in What can a Program Coordinator do in POINT.
