>> of a non profit human services organization. Client has worked there
>> quite a few years, has been in acting Exec Director position for only
>> two months. Here's the situation:
>> Client anticipates changes on the horizon as 'Managed Care' becomes a
>> larger business issue by impacting funding sources and future
>> partnerships. Board will be going to the 'outside' in their search. In
>> our coaching session, we have determined client's strengths and
>> development needs for the position. Major area of concern is weakness in
>> business knowledge areas, especially on financial side. Client's formal
>> education includes Masters in Social Work and no courseware in
>> business. Our strategy is to face the need for some formal business
>> training and present a Development Plan to the board during the
>> interview that would indicate how the gap will be closed if my client
>> were offered the position. Finally, the question:
>>
>> Can anyone recommend a developmental experience or a program geared to
>> the identified need? My thoughts include professional development
>> programs in finance and accounting for non financial managers. Are there
>> similar programs available for Executive Directors of non profits?
>> Client is located in Pennsylvania around Philadelphia area and is
>> willing to travel anywhere in northeast for right program.
