Program Overview
The Consortium for Social Enterprise Effectiveness (CSEE) is a year-long certificate program that strengthens social mission organizations and those who lead them. CSEE uses a two-pronged approach to develop stronger leaders and foster organizational strategy skills, including organizational assessment and action planning.
CSEE is designed for: executive directors and other senior leaders in organizations focused on social missions. This includes nonprofit services, non-government organizations, and foundations.
Our faculty are also available for one-on-one consultations during the program’s scheduled meals, at which students may discuss strategy or leadership matters they are facing within their roles and organizations. These consults will be booked on a first-come-first-served basis and are scheduled via email requests to David Gras and Timothy Munyon. Additional paid consulting services may be recommended to students beyond this provision. Depending on CSEE program funding, when available and on a limited basis, need-based scholarships may be available to defray paid consulting expenses.
Contact Kitty Cornett, program manager, for further information on consultation scheduling, needs-based consulting scholarships and preferred providers in our region
