First MANP ARRA Funded Program Open for Enrollment

MANP’s 2010 Nonprofit Leadership Institute is open to Executive Directors interested in building the relationships and the organizational capacity to better meet community needs.  This seven month, eight session Institute is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and is free to participants. 

Leaders enrolled in this program must commit to all eight sessions, and complete necessary preparatory work, including organizational, board and leadership assessments.  All organizations selected must have been in business for three years, have a budget, active board of directors, and delivered programming or services.

All sessions will be held in the Mid-Coast, and will run from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day.   The program line-up is delivered by highly rated consultants and practitioners and has been very well rated by past Leadership Institute participants.
