The Art and Science of Nonprofit Management (Series)
The professional development series (The Art & Science of Nonprofit Management and Leadership©) consists of four interconnected workshops. The workshops can be delivered individually or as a series, depending on the training needs of the staff. Power point presentations of some of the workshops are available upon request.
