The Nonprofit Management Center is currently accepting registration for our Spring 2026 Generations Course.

Nonprofit organizations face growing challenges in recruiting and retaining volunteers ready to serve at the board level. Many lack experience in governance, human resources, fundraising, and program oversight.
‍
Generations…Past, Present and Future, a program of the Nonprofit Management Center, prepares future board members with the tools and confidence to lead effectively. More than 500 business professionals have completed the program.
‍
Through eight half-day sessions, Generations teaches willing, skilled candidates how to be informed, committed leaders on nonprofit boards by providing adequate oversight of administration in nonprofit governance.

Serving on a nonprofit board helps participants:
-Expand personal and professional networks
-Strengthen leadership and management skills
-Support causes that align with their values and company missions
-Enhance their company’s visibility in the community
‍
Upon completing eight, half-day sessions over a four-month period, the Nonprofit Management Center staff will work with the participants to match them with a local nonprofit board that fits their personal preference and passion.

Individuals considering joining the program should be prepared to commit the time and effort necessary to support an organizations’ mission effectively as a board member.
‍
Applications are due July 17, 2026. If you or an employee are interested in participating in Generations, please complete the Generations Application.
‍
By submitting the application, participants are agreeing to attendance requirements, completion of course work designed for Generations, and to serve at least one year with their chosen organization.

Employers are also agreeing to release the employee to fulfill the time commitment necessary and supporting them with tuition ($500) for the Generation program.
