financial leadership
purpose

Have you wondered what the Board needs to know related to financial issues of a nonprofit organization? This training will answer this important question, which is determining the fate of many organizations in the current economic environment.

This on-site session includes a review of basic financial management tools that help the board and staff fulfill their financial management oversight responsibility to monitor, evaluate, plan and make informed decisions. While organizations are unique, many with their own terminology and reporting methods, good financial management should incorporate a number of essential components – which are covered in this training.
