FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
FOR MANAGERS OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FALL - 2005
Nonprofit and faith-based organizations are experiencing increased pressure from funders, regulators, the media, and the general public, to do more with less. One result is an urgent need to enhance their financial management capacity.
The Nonprofit Sector Resource Institute, a funded program of
Seton Hall University’s Center for Public Service, is currently
accepting applications for a new, intensive six session
Financial Management Certificate
Program.
The Program is designed to appeal to:
- Executive directors and/or program directors who wish to improve their grasp of key concepts in financial reporting and control, and in the use of financial statements as management tools.
- New nonprofit financial managers, or financial managers who wish to increase their understanding of the issues and challenges.
- Board members who desire to gain a better understanding of nonprofit finance, and their role in oversight and control.
Classes will be held on the Seton Hall campus in South Orange, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on six Saturdays in the fall, September 17 and 24, and October 1, 9, 16, and 23. Blending theory and practice, the course will provide valuable skills that participants will be able to apply immediately.A variety of highly interactive learning methods make the sessions lively and relevant. Sample comments from last years participants included:
- The range of backgrounds and perspectives of the presenters gave us a well-rounded understanding of financial management.
- All resources were great. Excellent program.
The cost of the certificate program is $1,200. Partial
tuition assistance maybe available. Application forms for
