PROED 541 - Your Nonprofit Organization and the Community

Learn to lead your organization by looking at the outside environment and building relationships with key stakeholders that are external to the organization but critical to its long-term success. We'll discuss the role of the leader in selling the vision, raising funds, building and maintaining relationships with external stakeholders, and communicating effectively with multiple audiences (media, stakeholders, etc.). We'll work together to scan and analyze the greater environment to help you understand your 'big picture' and incorporate a systems view to inform decisions - both internal and external. You'll also gain an understanding of government and the role of advocacy, and how to identify related opportunities and take action.
