| What's New
To help build a Minnesota-based pipeline to fill an anticipated
need for new nonprofit and public sector leaders due to
significant retirements, faculty members are developing public
service-oriented educational and training programs for undergraduates,
graduate students, mid- and top-level executives,
board members, and other professionals. The Public and
Nonprofit Leadership Center also collaborated with the
Minnesota Council of Nonprofits to sponsor the second annual
statewide leadership development conference in July. More |

 Melissa Middleton Stone
Public and Nonprofit Leadership chair
"Few public problems—now or in the
future—will be solved by government
alone. At the Humphrey Institute, we
focus on enhancing the leadership of all
public-serving institutions—nonprofit
organizations, philanthropic efforts,
and the public sector—and on improving
the ability of these institutions to
work together to solve problems. This
includes public-interest partnerships
with the private sector as well.
"Strong accountability systems must
undergird public service work. We are
working with the leaders of public
institutions to develop new, practical
governance and accountability frameworks.
We also are engaged with the
philanthropic community to develop
programs that promote ‘public interest
philanthropy,’ that is, charitable giving
that supports the core public values
of a democratic society." |
