It's the final days to apply for the Financial Leadership program. 📊 Financial leadership is essential to the health and vitality of nonprofit organizations, and it’s more than financial management. It’s critical to tie financials to organizational community impact and understand the true costs of program delivery. 8 virtual sessions, each 1.5 hours biweekly from 9-10:30 am. Webinars will be interactive where appropriate, with exercises to apply the principles of discussion and increase understanding. Each webinar will be accompanied by templates and tools. The sessions are led virtually by Steve Zimmerman, Principal of Spectrum Nonprofit Services. Visit our website for more details and to apply!
