Nonprofit Human Resource Management Course – Register Now Through Harvard Extension School!

I am happy to announce that Harvard Extension School will again offer the Nonprofit Human Resource Management course in the Spring 2022 semester.  The course introduces participants to the best practices, policies, and theories related to nonprofit human resource management. Whether you are now or plan to be an HR practitioner or a leader, manager or board member for a nonprofit organization, museum, school, or foundation, this course prepares you with the knowledge and skills needed to manage human capital in a nonprofit setting. This is also a great learning opportunity for those interested in making a career transition into the nonprofit sector.

Class meetings will be held each Wednesday in the spring semester from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. ET beginning on January 26, 2022.  This is a live, web-based course and will include a combination of class lectures, discussions, activities, case studies, and nonprofit executives as guest speakers.

I originally created and taught this course in the Fall 2019 semester, for which I received a Dean’s Commendation for Excellence in Teaching.

Registration began today, Monday, November 8, 2021 for Nonprofit Human Resource Management MGMT E-4241. Learn more here.

Diversity & Inclusion Certificate

Last month, I successfully completed the Diversity & Inclusion Certificate from Cornell University‘s eCornell. I learned so much in this program, with courses on improving engagement, identifying interventions to counteract unconscious bias, and strategies for diversity and inclusion in the workplace. My personal favorite was focused on fostering an inclusive environment. I am excited to share these learnings with Pillar Search & HR Consulting‘s clients!
