Ho Hum, but semi-useful

Written by Lea on November 1st, 2007

  • Book Rating: 2/5

Semi-Useful and Interesting if you are new to non-profit "Third Sector" operations. You have to stay with it. They took too much time with endorsements like...thanks to this organization...thanks to that one...also it seemed like an advertisement for their organization. The lecture was ok, but Dina Aviv rushed her paper and was basically monotone and a bit boring...you just have to pick through it to find your interest point. Most of the material was redundant when you consider what non-profits have been doing since the beginning of time. There was no new information, just your everyday complaint about non-profits not putting their money where they should, and people using non-profits as the "new" corporations and to promote special interests...yadda, yadda, yadda...
