Charleston-Area Nonprofits Launch Seminar Series to Increase Performance and Impact
Charleston, SC (PRWEB) April 15, 2016 -- A group of local organizations and nonprofits is pleased to announce The High Performance Series, a set of seminars developed to help Tri-County non-profit and philanthropic leaders achieve high performance and drive real impact through “growth outcomes-oriented management” models. Leading local foundations, non-profits and socially-oriented businesses have joined together to deliver this high-value series and advance the missions of organizations across the region.
“Thoughtful leaders recognize the need to constantly learn, reflect and improve,” said Edie Blakeslee, Regional Vice President of the Coastal Community Foundation. “The High Performance Series will help Tri-County leaders determine where to concentrate their efforts in order to better fulfill the missions of their organizations.”
