There has never been greater need for nonprofit executives and their boards to demonstrate sound leadership. They must compete with other nonprofits for the attention of, and dollars from, their funding sources.  To meet these challenges, nonprofit leaders and their boards need the knowledge to adequately analyze and manage the economic and regulatory risks their nonprofits face and the courage to make the appropriate decisions and actions.  This book provides them the tools they need to do both.
