Business workshops can benefit non-profits | ULM Forum 6-15-12

Duggins

Non-profit organizations can lean on the experience of business faculty at the University of Louisiana at Monroe this summer. The College of Business is holding a series of workshops on the business of running a non-profit organization, many of them taught by ULM faculty.

Susan Duggins, the director of the Northeast Louisiana Business and Community Development Center, says the workshops' topics were chosen based on direct feedback from local non-profits.
