Skill Building

SVPSA's Fellowship was developed to strengthen nonprofit executive level leaders to round out their skills.

Topics include:

  1. Leadership, developing your mission and vision

  3. Human Resources, managing teams
  4. Financial strategy, tools and policies
  5. Nonprofit technology and resources
  6. Marketing, PR and community relations
  7. Fundraising
