HOW CAN YOUR NON-PROFIT GROW EVEN IN DIFFICULT ECONOMIC TIMES?

Rather than just try to stay afloat in these tough times for non-profits, why not utilize a GREAT NEW RESOURCE to help train your key staff and Board members on how to grow by making the right strategic choices for your non-profit?

The five 45-minute sessions are taught by non-profit coach Judy Almand who has been leading a variety of non-profits for the past 20 years, with positions including Regional Vice President of the American Cancer Society for half of Georgia and parts of South Carolina and Senior Director of the American Heart Association in Charleston, South Carolina.

The topics of the 5 sessions are

1. Evaluating Your Structure
2. Planning Your Future
3. Developing Your Resources - Board, Volunteers, Key Staff
4. Training Your Executive Team
5. Raising the Income
PLUS a Supplemental CD Rom filled with pre-tests, worksheets, and post-test evaluations to help your non-profit plan, strategize, and grow!

The training set will be sold for $350 but, AS AN EARLY RELEASE PRE-ORDER SPECIAL, THE ENTIRE SET, IF ORDERED BY DECEMBER 1, WILL BE OFFERED FOR $300 and will also include a bonus disc entitled "Donors. Find Them. Keep Them." The entire set is a great training resource for your office and one that can be used again and again with new staff and Board members.
