LEAD 7500 Four Pillars of Effective Organizations: Finances, Fundraising, Law and Public Policy

Knowing that organizations are complex systems, although with distinctive purposes with defined outcomes, they must operate within a complex environment that reflects the interplay among financial, budgetary, legal and policy constructs for organizational leaders. Candidates will have an opportunity to get an overview of the leader’s role and responsibilities in these domains. Candidates will then participate in one of three specialized modules for a more in depth understanding in their selected area. These modules will examine financial management, investment portfolios, legal restrictions for partnerships between public and private entities; the art of fundraising, restricted and unrestricted gifts, trusts, bequest intents, and endowments; and legal and policy implications, including employment, civil rights, and state-specific gender equality laws.
