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.

As part of the University of Maine, the Hutchinson Center will be closed on Monday, January 16th for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

Normal operating hours will resume on Tuesday, January 17th.

The spirit of giving is all around us during this time of year, and the Hutchinson Center is proof of that spirit. This year we participated in giving to two local charities. We were able to adopt four families from "Wings of Love", a local non-profit organization dedicated to helping Waldo County families and senior citizens as well as collecting non-perishable food items from staff, students, faculty and local residents to donate to the Belfast Soup Kitchen on Field Street. Thank you to all who helped make this successful. Happy Holidays.
