This course introduces students to the issues and challenges of leading a non-profit organization. Covered topics include dealing with boards, workers and volunteers and external agencies. We will consider funding and revenue sources as well as cost management. Finally, the course will explore strategic planning and program evaluation. The course will feature an embedded practitioner with substantial leadership experience in higher education.
The course will be a case study based course and students will be required to do a substantial project on a non-profit of their choosing.
