Congratulations to our first cohort of FIRM for Program Directors

2019-01-07T15:21:21-05:00February 18th, 2018|Events|

Earlier this month we debuted our first FIRM for Program Directors as part of our Nonprofit Impact Series. FIRM for Program Directors introduces important budgeting concepts and prepares program directors to make informed contributions to the nonprofit budgeting process. Some feedback we received included:
  • The facilitator, “great job of presenting info at least for someone like me who has no experience/knowledge of my org’s budget.”
  • “It was great!”
  • Because of FIRM one attendee felt “empowered to ask more questions of budget, expenses and fundraising efforts.”
We’ll be offering FIRM for Program Directors again in 2019. However, we’re offering FIRM for New and Emerging Nonprofits (register today) and our Two Day Intensive in October.

For more information about FIRM or any other Nonprofit Montgomery program, please contactLesley.
