Program culls next generation of nonprofit leaders

Virginia Commonwealth University's Especially for Nonprofit Organizations is offering an eight-month training program for the Richmond/Tri-Cities area’s next generation of nonprofit leaders. The "Emerging Nonprofit Leaders" program began in November and continues until June 2008. Tuition is subsidized through VCU, the Jessie Ball DuPont Fund and The Community Foundation.
