NH Center for Nonprofits Announces Graduates of Hoffman-Haas Fellowship
Nineteen new graduates completed the Hoffman-Haas Fellowship, a nonprofit board leadership program of the NH Center for Nonprofits. Each of the graduating Hoffman-Haas Fellows received mentoring from an experienced board member and attended workshops with nationally recognized experts on topics of fiscal strategy, sustainability, fundraising, and governance.
The Fellowship responds to the critical need for an expanded and diverse pool of community leaders who are ready to bring their talent, passion and commitment to volunteer board service. Since the program launched in 2014, more than 200 Fellows and Mentors from across the state have completed the program. The 2017 Central Region cohort was generously sponsored by Cogswell Benevolent Trust, Lincoln Financial Group, McLane Middleton and Merrimack County Savings Bank. Named in honor of two NH philanthropists known for their dedication to the vibrancy of our state and the well-being of families, the Hoffman-Haas Fellowship honors John E. Hoffman Jr. of Sullivan and Thomas W. Haas of Durham.
The next cohort of the Hoffman-Haas Fellowship is scheduled for the fall of 2017 and will be held in the Seacoast region. For more information and to apply, visit www.nhnonprofits.org/hoffmanhaas.
