The most serious economic recession in 70 years is forcing nearly all non-profits--colleges, universities, children's hospitals, cultural organizations, and social service agencie--to slash budgets and refocus priorities.
One of the first casualties is funding for professional development and training. And this means serious problems for staff retention and program quality are just around the corner. When the economy starts to recover, you may not be ready to catch the wave.
Traditionally, most institutions have relied on conferences which deliver a smorgasbord of just-in-case training options. In times of scarcity, the expenses of such conferences call into question the value of training that doesn't address urgent
issues or quickly improve the effectiveness of your programs.
Bentz Whaley Flessner has a solution. We've been in the business of meeting the just-in-time development and constituent relations training needs for our clients for over 25 years.

Boards drive fund raising. They are one of the most critical elements in any successful program. Unfortunately, our expertise at managing this critical factor is not always as well developed as our expertise in managing other inputs and processes.
Bentz Whaley Flessner has worked with boards and board management for years. We surveyed the nation's leading private colleges to document how the various approaches to board management impact fund raising. Among the management practices tested: new member recruitment, new member orientation, member participation in setting formal expectations, fund-raising assignments, board solicitation, moves management with and of members, and board focus on fund raising.
This paper presents the summary of these findings and some recommended courses of action that follow from the findings.
