This series of eight courses has been specifically designed to
address the core competencies deemed necessary to successfully lead
and manage a nonprofit organization. The mastery of these
competencies, although not a guarantee of success, will certainly
place the learner on the right road and heading in the right
direction.
The programs range in scope from Strategic Planning to Strategic
Alliances. Along the way, they thoroughly examine such key result
areas as Resource Development, Board Governance, and Marketing. They
also deal with Financial Management, Social Entrepreneurship, and
Volunteer Management.
The faculty represents some of the finest experts in the field of
nonprofit leadership and management: Alford, Boschee, Brinckerhoff,
Campbell, Ellis, Fox, Jones, Martinelli, and Weisman. Each program
showcases the faculty members’ wealth of hands-on experience.
7. Learning Institute

1996. It is a program of The Society For Nonprofit Organizations and a

The goal of the Learning Institute is to provide affordable,

sector: board members, paid staff, and the myriad of volunteers that
make it all work.
