Does Your Nonprofit Need A Tune-Up?

GREAT BARRINGTON – The Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires is holding a one-day Nonprofit Boot Camp on Thursday, March 14 for new, young and small nonprofits in need of a tune-up.

The Nonprofit Boot Camp takes place at the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge and covers the basics of nonprofit management including governance, fundraising, and best practices. Lead presenter, Susan Nicholl, addresses topics through a combination of facilitator-led instruction and interactive discussion. Local experts also lead sessions on topics such as legal and insurance best practices.

Aimed at directors, board members, and volunteer leaders who want to build a solid foundation or address gaps, this day-long session presents an opportunity for staff and board to attend together.
