Five New Agencies Selected for the Nonprofit Organization
Self-Assessment Program
The Nonprofit Organization Self-Assessment Incubator began in 2000-2001,
when the Center for Nonprofit Leadership and Management [CNLM] initiated
a pilot project that provided staff and technical assistance to
five Maricopa County nonprofits to work through an extensive agency
self-assessment process. Participants are challenged to answer questions
that go to the very heart of their organization: why it exists,
who it serves, and what it must do to make a difference. The end
outcome is to increase organizational effectiveness. To date, ten
agencies have completed the process:
- Family Service Agency
- Florence Crittenton Services of Arizona
- HomeBase Youth Services
- PREHAB of Arizona
- West Valley Child Crisis Center
- Arizona Women's Education and Employment (AWEE)
- Catholic Social Service of Central and Northern Arizona
- Chrysalis Shelter for Victims of Domestic Violence
- Tempe Community Action Agency
- Valle del Sol
Now entering it's third year, the Center for Nonprofit Leadership
and Management is very pleased to announce the selection of five
new agencies to participate in the program:
- Call-a-Teen Youth Resources
- Crisis Nursery
- Improving Chandler Area Neighborhoods
[ICAN]
- Body Positive
- Teen Lifeline
The Center's local leadership team will work with these agencies
over a nine-month process of organizational self-assessment, discovery
and transformation, utilizing tools adapted from the Leader-to-Leader
Institute (formerly the Drucker Foundation for Nonprofit Management).

Leadership and Management, please visit our website at http://nonprofit.asu.edu.

Southern
Arizona Alliance of Nonprofits
September 10, 2003
On July 30, 2003, a group of forty very excited and positive
nonprofit leaders came together and agreed to form the Southern
Arizona Alliance of Nonprofits. The "working" mission
of this group is to strengthen the capacity and collective power
of the nonprofit sector in order to enhance the quality of life
in our communities. The next meeting of the Southern Arizona
Alliance of Nonprofits will be Wednesday, September 10, 2003
from 8 - 10 am at the Sentinel building, 320 North Commerce
Loop, Tucson. This group is not only committed to including
all of the diverse parts of the nonprofit sector but it must
to survive. Many groups out there already serve the needs of
individual sub-sectors or "issue" groups within the
nonprofit sector. This group intends to represent ALL nonprofits.
Therefore, it is crucial that members of the arts communities,
faith-based groups, environmental and animal groups, rural groups,
people of color and all others be willing to attend meetings
and participate in the decision making process from an early
point in this process. At this point we are actively seeking
several committed members of the groups named above to participate
on the steering committee of the Southern Arizona Alliance of
Nonprofits. For more information about the Southern Arizona
Alliance of Nonprofits please go to www.progressivist.org
