A free online event in collaboration with the Center for Nonprofit Strategy and Management – Austin W. Marxe School of Public and International Affairs – Baruch College was held on September 30, 2022.

Held on Friday, September 30, 2022

The turbulence of recent decades has demonstrated the fragility of nonprofit organizations, especially in periods of crisis such as the COVID pandemic. Prevailing management, regulatory, and financial practices have contributed to their vulnerability. A new paradigm of management practice based on building resilience and navigating crises is needed to ensure nonprofits’ future viability and effectiveness. This presentation discussed the dimensions of this new paradigm, based on a new book by the presenters, Resilience and the Management of Nonprofit Organizations (Edward Elgar, 2022).
