Summer Meeting 2014 is just a few months away, and it’s shaping up to be the best one yet — especially with the addition of a special members-only program.

This year, with support from Arcus Foundation, we’re bringing in our friends from The Management Center to share their Managing to Change the World training — only with Federation members.

Whether you’re managing an entire organization, supervising just one other employee, or hoping to be in a non-profit management role in the future, this training is for you.

Join us on Wednesday, July 30 — just before Summer Meeting officially starts that evening in beautiful Minneapolis. This training is free, but space is limited. Be sure to sign up now!
