Member Opportunity: Management Training at Summer Meeting 2014 in Minneapolis

June 2, 2014

Summer Meeting 2014 is just a few months away, and it’s shaping up to be the best one yet — especially with the addition of a special members-only program.

This year, with support from Arcus Foundation, we’re bringing in our friends from The Management Center to share their Managing to Change the World training — only with Federation members.

Whether you’re managing an entire organization, supervising just one other employee, or hoping to be in a non-profit management role in the future, this training is for you.

Join us on Wednesday, July 30 — just before Summer Meeting officially starts that evening in beautiful Minneapolis. This training is free, but space is limited. Be sure to sign up now!

Check out the agenda below to see what you will learn at Managing to Change the World.
