All of the information presented was clear and didn't leave me with any lingering questions - just action items!" -- Bri Fairley, Executive Director, Atlas Aphasia Center "A go-to read for small nonprofit Executive Directors . gives both step-by-step strategies and encouragement for the decisions EDs must make to ensure the success of their organizations." -- Kristen Corning Bedford, author of "A Generous Heart: Changing the World Through Feminist Philanthropy" "I definitely recommend this book to Executive Directors of small non-profits. It is a great overview of areas an Executive Director needs to pay attention to. It has a good balance of dealing with day-to-day, looking at big picture, growing the organization, and dealing with the board.
