“Having an outside expert give knowledge, printed materials, and a strategic plan will give planners the tools to keep everyone moving forward and on the same page.

This is a program that many, especially small to mid-sized nonprofits without professional development staff, will love and use – over and over.  It’s easy to train and do at the same time.  The length of the lessons is perfect.  With the larger nonprofits, it’s a tool for Development Directors to herd the all-knowing cats.”
