Development and Finance Symposium

Many nonprofit organizations struggle with some aspect of financial management, and others could have more strategic collaboration between their finance and development offices. The Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership has created the Development and Finance Symposium, set for June 11-12, to prepare finance and development departments to work strategically on metrics, reports and basic functions, resulting in better business intelligence for their organizations.
