By Paulette Vinette, CAE
December 21, 20092010 is but days away, but it's not too late to start planning for a great year for you and your not-for-profit organization. Take advantage of the downtime most organizations enjoy during the second half of December to contemplate and plan for the coming year. As a starting point, take our quick, three-question survey, which asks where you organization is headed in the year ahead.
