Executive Preparation Institute
Build a better nonprofit by making yourself a more effective leader. Designed for nonprofit professionals at the management and senior level, the Executive Preparation Institute is ideal for individuals looking to enhance their leadership skills and take the next step into an executive role.
Board Basics A to Z
For nonprofit organizations, two of the hardest tasks are to recruit individuals to serve on the Board of Directors and to educate directors about the duties and responsibilities of board service. The Center’s Board Basics A to Z is a one-day seminar for new (and current) board members that provides a complete overview of a board member’s role.
