Thanks To Our Partners

The development of this course in Nonprofit Governance was possible due to the commitment of many people, but special thanks are due to Liz Heath at The Nonprofit Center for all her effort in helping us to create the community infrastructure to launch this important new enhancement to the curriculum at the Milgard School of Business.  Liz, along with committee chair, Rick Carr, helped to convene a committee of dedicated community volunteers to set criteria, recruit and select nonprofit agencies to participate as mentor boards. The committee's enthusiasm provided the energy necessary to make this project possible.  Thanks to the committee members for their commitment to the nonprofit sector and the development of tomorrow's leaders.
