The experience of continuing education for nonprofit leaders has been a positive one for past scholarship recipients. “Since I returned from the Strategic Perspectives in Nonprofit Management Program, the hard work of putting the lessons into practice is already germinating. My conceptual toolbox bursts with a rich set of tools and I feel a duty to use what I learned from the program to make a difference in my organization and my community,” commented Bill Clark, President and Executive Director of Philabundance, upon his completion of the program last summer. JoAnne Fischer agreed, and said, “I know that the knowledge and perspective I gained will enhance my leadership of Maternity Care Coalition and my contributions to the nonprofit sector. As a result of the case studies and small group work I developed a stronger understanding in what is involved in evaluating the scalability and sustainability of an organization.”
The success of this scholarship program led to an annual local conference focused on nonprofit leadership development, currently in its sixth year, with this year’s conference to be held November 10, 2009 at Penn State’s Great Valley campus. In addition to the Harvard Business School Club of Philadelphia and alumni funding, support of the Social Enterprise Initiative comes from leading corporations and foundations based in the region, including the United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania, Comcast, Liberty Property Trust, The Philadelphia Foundation, TL Ventures, The William Penn Foundation, SEI Investments, Levenger, Pitney Bowes, and an investment management firm that wishes to remain anonymous.
