NEW PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTS FOR SPRING
GAIN CRITICAL SKILLS IN NONPROFIT MANAGEMENT
The Essential Management Skills for Nonprofits program will introduce strategic changes this spring. This powerful, updated program features 10 classes to help you gain key insights for nonprofits on current local trends, opportunities and challenges. Longtime instructor Dom Betro will
continue to teach four pivotal courses and six leading executives and CEOs will each teach one of the remaining six courses. By studying with local executives, students will gain a critical perspective on community issues and learn how to be innovative in using local and federal resources to resolve complex challenges. In addition, nine of the 10 courses will be held in person at CSUSM to foster participant engagement, strengthen networking and increase the exchange of ideas and insights. Offered in partnership with the Alliance for Regional Solutions.
