In this course, participants will create a programmatic and/or financial dashboard for their specific nonprofit. Dashboards are used to help organizations examine the 5-8 key indicators that they determine are important to share with boards/directors. This course provides Nonprofit Executives, board members, CFOs, and Program Directors with instruction on skills and conceptual information. It provides them with opportunities to apply those abilities to practice through hypothetical and actual cases.
