Dear Friends,
 
The Center for Public and Nonprofit Leadership (CPNL) begins the 2007-2008 academic year building off of a year of reflection and growth. As you will see in the report, the previous year was a productive one for our executive education and training programs, the launch of the Eisenberg Fellows’ program, and a new effort to strengthen undergraduate nonprofit offerings at Georgetown.
 
The past year, CPNL’s 10-year anniversary, also included the opportunity to reflect on our future focus and programming, especially given CPNL’s home at Georgetown’s Public Policy Institute (GPPI) and in the nation’s capital. Interviews were conducted with seventeen key CPNL stakeholders including GPPI faculty, staff, students and alumni, certificate program faculty and CPNL staff. The outcome is a new 3-year action plan with a renewed commitment to the development of leaders to ensure a lasting impact on social and public policy issues through work with and in the nonprofit and philanthropic sector. This focus will be implemented through four primary program areas:
  • Research – Conducting cutting-edge and timely research around the impact of nonprofit advocacy and philanthropic giving on public policy, including through the development of new teaching case studies focused on advocacy and the research of the Waldemar A. Nielsen Chair in Philanthropy.
  • Graduate Education: Strengthening GPPI students’ awareness of nonprofit and philanthropic organizations as critical actors in the public policy process, through course work and field assignments.
  • Executive Education – Strengthening the leadership capacity of nonprofit and philanthropic practitioners through the continued implementation of the Nonprofit Management Executive Certificate Program, including potential replication of the program on an international level.
  • Public Engagement – Continued convenings around issues related to nonprofit leadership, advocacy, philanthropy and public policy through annual symposia and discussion forums.
CPNL welcomes Elizabeth Heagy as a Senior Associate – please look for her bio in the newsletter.
 
I am delighted to have this opportunity to share with you our recent accomplishments and hope we will cross paths in partnership in the next year.

 
Kathy Kretman, Ph.D.
