ABOUT THE CLASS:
The Pass to Excellence seminar is designed for nonprofit leaders to acquire an in-depth knowledge of Standards for Excellence Ethics and Accountability Code and to attain the resources necessary to put it into practice. During the seminar, our Standards for Excellence expert will work with attendees to develop a tailored work plan for each organization to implement key areas outlined in this vetted code. This plan will help leaders strengthen the management, governance, and operations of their organizations with concrete strategies and best practices.
Attendees will also gain comprehensive strategies should they consider earning the Seal of Excellence through the Standards for Excellence accreditation program.
About the Standards for Excellence Program
The Standards for Excellence originated as a special initiative of Maryland Nonprofits in 1998 and has since expanded into a national program to help nonprofit organizations achieve the highest benchmarks of ethics and accountability in nonprofit governance, management and operations. The program has been formally adopted by eleven state, regional and national affiliate organizations, and is supported by over 60 Licensed Consultants and over 100 volunteers with professional experience in nonprofit governance and administration. Since its inception, the program has accredited over 200 individual nonprofit organizations across the United States that completed a rigorous application and review process to demonstrate adherence to the Standards for Excellence: An Ethics and Accountability Code for the Nonprofit Sector.
In 2008, BoardSource named the Standards for Excellence code as “one of the most important milestones in the field of nonprofit governance in the last 20 years.” The program has been cited as exemplary at hearings and roundtables before the US Senate Committee on Finance and the American Society of Association Executives.
