Webinar Series for Nonprofit Leaders Launched

The National Human Services Assembly (www.nationalassembly.org), a nonprofit association of the nation's leading human service and community development organizations, is pleased to invite you and your colleagues to an extraordinary series of high-quality webinars--Thursdays at Three: Knowledge for Nonprofit Sector Leaders. 

The series is designed for local and national leaders of nonprofit human service and community development organizations. There are seven one-hour webinars scheduled thus far, with more to come.  All sessions are free but space is limited.

The subject matter of Thursdays at Three ranges from operational (e.g., managing unemployment costs), to organizational (e.g., results based accountability) to programmatic knowledge (e.g., new insights on demographic trends and their implications for service delivery).  Chose those that are relevant to you and register.  Forward the link to others so they can do so as well.
