The Harvard Business School Club of Atlanta is pleased to announce plans to award up to six scholarships to attend Executive Education Programs in the Social Enterprise Initiative (SEI) at Harvard Business School in Boston. The SEI was created to respond to the growing nonprofit sector and its complex relationships with the wider business world. The two courses offered are Performance Measurement for Effective Management of Nonprofit Organizations (PMNO) on June 16 to 19, 2008 and Strategic Perspectives in Nonprofit Management (SPNM) on July 13 to 19, 2008. The PMNO program is structured to help conceptualize and design the systems and processes necessary to measure and achieve desired performance. The SPNM course focuses on understanding core management concepts, applying these concepts strategically, and implementing change within the organization.. Scholarship winners will be selected by February 2008, and will be honored at a dinner hosted by the HBCSA in Spring 2008. A maximum of one scholarship may be awarded per applying organization, and an applicant may apply for a scholarship to only one of the courses. For further information, contact: Beth Miller at bmiller@maagroup.com. The application can be found at www.hbs-atlanta.org/scholarships.html.
