The University of Maine Hutchinson Center has designed the certificate program in non-profit organizational management for non-profit organization executives, staff members, and leaders to deal with contemporary issues and problems using realistic, “hands on” strategies. The various workshops will encourage interactive discussion of “real world” situations and actively engage participants in quality planning, effective program/service development, creative problem solving, and issue resolution. This certificate represents yet another of the offerings that the University of Maine Hutchinson Center has created to be responsive to the educational needs of the community.
The non-profit workshops will appeal to those involved in a variety of organizational roles, including executive directors, board/trustee members, business managers, development officers, program officers, and those holding similar positions. Those not currently engaged in non-profit organizational roles—but seeking to move into these career areas—will also gain a great deal from participation in these workshops.
Volunteers are often the life-blood of the non-profit organization, allowing it to fulfill its mission with limited expenditures for paid staff members. Every aspect of volunteer management will be examined, including volunteer identification, preparation, retention, evaluation and recognition. Finally, the blending of paid staff and volunteers will be addressed.
