Final exams are just around the corner, so naturally the minds of many college students are turning to…school?
Summer for college students used to mean racking up hours at a seasonal job or, for some, an internship related to their major.

Within weeks you will be ready to ask and answer essential questions encountered during personal or business travel.
A Nonprofit Board's Role & Responsibility to its Agency & the Community

This session is a great orientation for any board and its members, but will particularly benefit new board members, new organizations, or organizations without paid staff.
