“For many non-profit organizations, the belief is the person at the top needs to know how to raise money. This is true, but what many have overlooked is the leader also has to have a good business sense; that is what the MSA program has done for me. Without a background in business, I was lacking much of the business and managerial knowledge necessary to be a good leader. I have taken so much from this program that has directly and indirectly benefited my organization.”
