| ASU's New School of Community Resources & Development The academic home of two of Arizona State University's nonprofit management education programs (the American Humanics undergraduate certificate program and the NLM graduate program) are a part of a new School at the University. What we knew as The Department of Recreation Management and Tourism is now The School of Community Resources and Development. This name adjustment is a part of the University's fundamental reorganization plan. Housed in the College of Public Programs, the School of Community Resources and Development focuses on improving the social, environmental, economic, and cultural well-being of our local and global communities through instruction. The school serves to generate knowledge and provide professional leadership preparation in the areas of parks and recreation resources, tourism development and nonprofit leadership and management. The Director of the School of Community Resources and Development,
Dr. Randy Virden says "The new name is exciting for a couple
of important reasons. First it elevates our academic unit and
programs to "School" status which is consistent with
President Crow's new school-centric model. The second and perhaps
more important reason is that the new name is much more inclusive
of all of our academic programs and faculty. The success of
the nonprofit program academic programs and the ASU Center for
Nonprofit Leadership and Management were a major influence on
the new name." To find out more about the School and its
offerings, please visit the website at http://scrd.asu.edu

| Nonprofit Researched Abridged The latest issue of Nonprofit Research Abridged, based upon research conducted by ASU Professor Chao Guo, explores the effects of government funding on nonprofit governance. The findings show that government funding affects the composition of the board of directors and the power of the board relative to the chief executive, two important aspects of an organization’s relationship to its constituents and the community. Nonprofit Research Abridged is a quarterly publication of the
ASU Center for Nonprofit Leadership & Management that connects
nonprofit sector research and practice. One printed copy of
Nonprofit Research Abridged is available to each nonprofit organization.
The current issue and all previous issues, as well as related
resources on each topic, are available online in the "Research
that Matters" section of the Center's website at:
www.asu.edu/copp/nonprofit/res/res_abr.htm. If your organization
is currently not receiving a printed copy of Nonprofit Research
Abridged and would like to, please e-mail Stephanie Hiatt at
