"What a challenging, creative, and instructive course! I've been involved in nonprofits for over 20 years and was deeply enriched by the level of this course, including the intelligence and the creative minds of my classmates who came from wide-ranging backgrounds and expertise. They included individuals who were investment managers and business people, as well as wizened nonprofit veterans like me. The course, led by two of the countries leading experts in nonprofit management, truly broadened my perspective and touched me.  The course should be a requirement for anyone entering the field and has my highest recommendation for anyone currently working in the nonprofit sector."
