In these difficult times, even nonprofit directors, their staff and their boards need to be proactive in planning for today and the future.

On Friday, February 24, join us to the first session in this year’s Nonprofit Management Certificate program – Strategic Planning and Management in the Nonprofit Organization. The workshop will begin at 8:30 a.m. and run until 4:00 p.m. and is being co-taught by Carole Martin and Lori Roming. The focus of this workshop will be on understanding the planning, design, implementation, evaluation and maintenance process of a non-profit organization.  This body of knowledge will help non-profit staff and leaders create and build a more effective organization.  Visioning, setting organizational goals and creating or revising the mission statement will also be included in the session.  Each participant will learn the steps required to put together a workable strategic plan for his or her organization.

The future in education is to bring our college education to you.  The University of Maine and its Hutchinson Center branch in Belfast are doing just that as we have once again designed the MSW (Master’s in Social Work) degree for working professionals in the social work field who want to bring their career to the next level.

Starting in September 2012, the UMaine Master of Social Work program will be extended to Presque Isle, Falmouth and Belfast.  Using telecommunication technology, students from Presque Isle, Falmouth, and Belfast will be united for live classes.  You attend class in your own location, while instructors rotate through all three sites.

Need a 3-credit course for this Spring? 

The course can be taken for either undergraduate or graduate credit.  The University of Maine Hutchinson Center is again offering the popular three-credit college course, PAX 451:  Mediation:  Its Premises and Politics beginning Monday, Febuary 20th and continuing all week, ending on Friday, Febuary 24th.  The class will run from 8:30 am until 4:30 pm each day (Monday through Friday).  The instructor is Will Galloway, who has been teaching for the University and Hutchinson Center for over 10 years and is very well respected in the peace studies field as well as the midcoast community. 

Once again, the Penobscot Marine Museum has provided the Hutchinson Center with two fantastic exhibits displaying now through the month of April in our Fernald Art Gallery. In addition to the exhibit, there will be coordinating slideshow presentations on February 22nd and April 25th from 6:30-8:30pm that are free to the public.

One exhibit depicts images from the Elmer Montgomery collection taken between 1936 and 1946 emphasizing his passion for local waterfront scenes while the other tells a story of the fishing industry through the eyes of the Atlantic Fisherman, a journal from the 1900's established in Boston, Ma.
