GCN is pleased to announce another new Nonprofit University certificate series-the Essentials of Nonprofit Management and Leadership Certificate.

The series was specifically designed to meet the complex needs of today's nonprofit CEOs and COOS with less than 5 years of experience, although participants with more experience can use the series to re-fresh knowledge and skills. Those aspiring to, or just entering into, leadership positions will also find the series a valuable career building experience.

The 5-course certificate is offered through affordable, accessible half-day sessions that begin November 28th, and conclude in late February.

(Please Note: If you prefer to register for individual courses within the certificate series, please call Lanny Parsons @ 678-916-3018 or email him at lp@gcn.org for more information.  Thank you)
