The Southern Tier Capacity Building Program announces two free nonprofit trainings and a companion mini-grant program for 2009. The two workshops are supported by The Community Foundation for South Central New York and The Stewart W. and Willma C. Hoyt Foundation, Inc. The first workshop, Strategic Management in Tough Times, is set for April 17th and the second, Succession Planning, is set for June 9th. Nonprofit board members and management leaders alike are encouraged to attend. To register, visit http://www.ccsnys.org/events_conferences/events.asp or call 1-800-515-5012 ext 141.
