The panel also includes two graduates from Oakland University’s Nonprofit Management Certificate program: Andrea Meyer (Executive Director at Center for Success Network) and Coleman Yoakum (Executive Director at Micah 6 Community).
The Nonprofit Management Certificate (NPMC) program was designed to prepare community leaders for an increasing demand for sustainable funding streams, program metrics verifying outcomes, and new technical skills required for effective nonprofit management. This 6-course program, offered by Oakland University, helps strengthen skills in fund development, financial management, program evaluation, communications, and nonprofit leadership.
