The program consists of ten modules that cover topics in strategic thinking, leadership, governance/board issues, advocacy/political action, human resources management, marketing/grantsmanship, fundraising, financial analysis, using technology, and program evaluation. The program is limited to 20 attendees.
Benefits of attendance
The certificate program provides valuable skills and techniques that senior nonprofit executives can apply in their organization immediately. Both the participants and their organizations will benefit from this program. The modules are highly interactive and use a variety of learning methods. In addition to lectures, presentations, and demonstrations; the modules provide discussion groups, problem analyses, exercises, best practices, case studies. For each module, participants receive materials to keep as useful, on-the-job resources. Successful participants will receive a Certificate in Nonprofit Management.
