Advisory Board

The University of Connecticut Nonprofit Leadership Program’s Advisory Board is charged with keeping the work of the Program on target with the educational, communication and research needs of the Connecticut and U.S. Nonprofit sector and the academic mission of the University of Connecticut.

In order to accomplish this Advisory Board charge it is necessary that the composition of Advisory Board include Nonprofit and community leaders grounded in the pulse of the Connecticut Nonprofit sector and University of Connecticut faculty who bring a passion for meeting the needs of the sector, academic rigor and resources to the table.
