Today's unprecedented and challenging business climate is forcing professional and volunteer leaders of nonprofit enterprises to improve skill sets to continue their mission-driven work. Many leaders would benefit from baseline explanations on topics including governance, committees, planning and strategy, human resources, succession and transition management, and public trust, and would enjoy access to adaptable templates that will improve odds of organizational survival.
Howard Berman, after years as the lead staff member of a multibillion-dollar nonprofit health insurer and also an active volunteer for other nonprofits, provides tools, templates and training materials in Making a Difference: The Management and Governance of Nonprofit Enterprises (2010).
"Nonprofit enterprises are extraordinary organizations, accomplishing both what business will not do and what society does not want government to do," Berman said. "They are organizations created for purposes other than profits. To manage these enterprises well is a challenge worthy of society's best and brightest leaders."
Making a Difference provides a working guidebook to both students and nonprofit leaders, to successfully manage and govern nonprofit enterprises. It is written as a text for students in nonprofit management certificate or degree programs, and is also a practical resource guide for management and board leaders who must direct their organizations in today's environment.
Berman's book includes 140 pages of appendices that show the reader how to manage meeting, hire staff, fundraise and those documents are available to anyone who owns a copy of the book by e-mailing ccepublications@gmail.com .
Making a Difference has been written to help those who have the opportunity to lead and govern nonprofit enterprises both today and in the future to make a difference, Berman said.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Lucky Leaf, Waco, Kentucky, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
