The cost of the academy is $250 and lunch will be provided at each seminar. Additionally, program graduates will receive the Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership as well as continuing education unit credits.
Participants in the academy will be able to gain valuable knowledge and access resources to immediately apply in one's organization, develop important leadership skills to assist in sustaining its mission and goals, while networking with other nonprofit leaders.
