Hunter (PacNorWest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Jossey-Bass Handbook of Nonprofit Leadership and Management (Hardcover)
Bought the book for a class. Initially thought it was going to be long and dry because it's so big. But, was pleasantly surprised. The book is full of useful and user-friendly information. This one is staying on my shelf.
