From Joanne Fritz:
This is an exciting time to be part of the nonprofit world. Nonprofit organizations are in the public eye daily and their number and workforce have grown faster than the private sector. It is a new golden age for philanthropy and new models for giving and addressing world problems have emerged at an increased pace. The nonprofit world is unique, complex, and fascinating. I'll help you keep up, stay informed, and develop your skills as you work in the field or develop your own organization.
