We believe that Nonprofit organizations are the lifeblood of our community. They serve as the front lines in meeting the diverse needs within any community, providing resources, services and/or tools in specific areas of need. They’re driven by passion and a desire to tackle social issues and bring positive changes to people and communities. For all these reasons, systematic, comprehensive, affordable training and leadership capacity-building opportunities are critically important for both staff and board members – equipping this next generation to lead and govern. Armed with effective leadership, nonprofits will be more likely to sustainably thrive.
