Making nonprofit partnerships more efficient

Despite common goals, some nonprofit partnerships can be frustrating, slow moving, process oriented, and time consuming. Only the most forward-thinking executives will have cultivated the skills to prepare them for cross-sector partnerships. Why re-learn what savvy "early adopter" executives have already come to know from experience?

LGI has developed proven, customized training products for a single executive, a region, or a whole company. Perfect for starting new project teams, ongoing education, or executive retreats.
