As a Project Director, business coach and consultant for a non-profit organization, I have the opportunity to work with entrepreneurs. I make it a point to introduce this book to all of my clients who are starting or have an existing non-profit organization. In my opinion, every non-profit organization should own a copy of this book as a quick desktop reference guide!
Thumbs up to Ms. Farris for a great resource!
