Praise for ManagingNonprofits.org

"Hecht and Ramsey have hit a home run. ManagingNonprofits.org not only applies lessons learned from the dot.com world’s use of technology and the Internet to the nonprofit sector but helps nonprofit managers to adapt the best new management and leadership practices to their efforts. It is an invaluable tool for helping nonprofits reshape their old ways of doing business."
