Bulletin 13: At the Heart of Our Field is Business (January 2025)

There is an overwhelming need for innovative support and services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, however, every year thousands of nonprofits fail within their first 10 years, often leaving the people they were supporting in need. The reality is that nonprofit and for-profit sectors have a lot to teach each other about leadership and management. In this issue of the Bulletin, we explore business acumen, or the leadership skills needed to make organizations work well and the challenges faced by those leading disability service organizations.
