The More You Know, Part II
This first Web seminar of the New Year is our gift to you. Sparked by all the calls we receive thanking us for our advice and inquiring what other services we provide, we designed this session and its predecessor (see http://nonprofitrisk.org/training/more-you-know/free-training.shtml) to introduce you to or review for you all the services the Center has to offer. This session will introduce you to Quality Select, a new online tool designed to help nonprofits with screening prospective staff and volunteers. Sign up for the Webinar here at no charge.
