Many leaders would benefit from baseline explanations on topics including governance, committees, planning and strategy, human resources, succession and transition management, and public trust, and would enjoy access to adaptable templates that will improve odds of organizational survival.\nHoward Berman, after years as the lead staff member of a multibillion-dollar nonprofit health insurer and also an active volunteer for other nonprofits, provides tools, templates and training materials in Making a Difference: The Management and Governance of Nonprofit Enterprises (2010).\n\"Nonprofit enterprises are extraordinary organizations, accomplishing both what business will not do and what society does not want government to do,\" Berman said. \"They are organizations created for purposes other than profits. To manage these enterprises well is a challenge worthy of society's best and brightest leaders.\"\nMaking a Difference provides a working guidebook to both students and nonprofit leaders, to successfully manage and govern nonprofit enterprises. It is written as a text for students in nonprofit management certificate or degree programs, and is also a practical resource guide for management and board leaders who must direct their organizations in today's environment.\nBerman's book includes 140 pages of appendices that show the reader how to manage meeting, hire staff, fundraise and those documents are available to anyone who owns a copy of the book by e-mailing ccepublications@gmail.com .\nMaking a Difference has been written to help those who have the opportunity to lead and govern nonprofit enterprises both today and in the future to make a difference, Berman said.\nMaking a Difference Table of Contents\nPart I - Foundation\nChapter 1: Introduction\nChapter 2: Meeting Community Needs: Managing Nonprofit Enterprises\nChapter 3: The Community Sector\nChapter 4: The Corporation\nPart II - Governance\nChapter 5: Governance\nChapter 6: Board Structure\nChapter 7: Board Committees\nChapter 8: Board Leadership\nPart III - Management: Planning and Execution\nChapter 9: Planning and Strategy\nChapter 10: Operational Planning\nChapter 11: Implementation and Oversight\nPart IV - Management and Governance Challenges\nChapter 12: Capital Formation\nChapter 13: Human Resources: Volunteers and Paid Staff\nChapter 14: Succession Management\nChapter 15: Transition Management\nChapter 16: The Public's Trust\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0692333339\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0692333339.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Howard Berman|Marianne Benjamin|Lisa A.
