Whether you are a board member, staff, or volunteer of a nonprofit organization, you will gain skills and learn about resources unique to nonprofit organizations by attending these workshops. Get involved in a network of professionals engaged in similar work. Learn from state and regional experts, as well as from one another, on how to best contribute to your nonprofit organization. Choose from two convenient dates and locations for each program. Because your work is more than just a job, come learn how to efficiently and effectively manage the complexities of a nonprofit organization. Is this about leadership or personal development? It s about both. We can t separate the two, no matter how hard we try. People tend to split off the act of leadership from the person the two are inseparable. We tend to view leadership as an external event. Leadership is not just something we do it comes from somewhere inside us. It is our being in action. Kevin Cashman, Leadership from the Inside Out 2
