Presented by Megan Angle, Porte Brown, ACN Member
April 16, 2020

That the organization should succeed on its merits and purpose alone. But is this sustainable? In this workshop we will dig into why you may want to incorporate some of the management and operational styles of a traditional for-profit business and what results these changes can have on your organization. |
