NonProfit Council: Managing NonProfit Growth

Description

With growth comes the expectation of change. As a business grows larger, the lean and focused approach that brought success may not fit as well as it did before. The same is true in nonprofit organizations, where growth brings more resources and opportunities to make a significant impact, but also more complications. Our NonProfit Council will host meetings with speakers who can address the challenges specific to nonprofit leaders, start up nonprofits, and discuss funding, leadership development, staffing, etc. For this meeting, we have the pleasure of having Newton Sanon, the CEO of OIC South Florida. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting. About Mr. Sanon - Mr. Newton Sanon obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Stout; he continued his studies at UW-Stout and obtained a Master’s Degree in Training in Human Resources Development. Mr. Sanon is a Graduate of Harvard University’s Strategic Perspectives in Non-Profit Management and Wharton’s School of Education Management Development Program, where he was able to further hone his skills and expertise to continue serving the mission of OIC of South Florida. OIC of South Florida provides services in Broward County and Miami-Dade County, helping the unemployed and underemployed learn new skills and earn industry-recognized credentials that enable them to launch family-supporting careers with clear pathways for economic advancement.
