The Legacy of Leadership?

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Recently the Boston Foundation released a study on the state of nonprofits in Massachusetts.  While the report  focused on Massachusetts I recommend it as a resource for every nonprofit.  I would suggest that while reading the report you consider four questions.

  1. How can outsourcing maximize the organizations assets and resources and lower its costs?
  2. How could being part of a cooperative maximize the organizations assets and resources and lower its costs?
  3. What is the status of the organizations strategic plan?
  4. What succession planning has been completed by the organization?

You may click on link to the report to go to the Boston Foundation web site and download the report.  Please note the report is PDF and is over 100 pages.
