How the Nonprofit Sector Can Share What We Learn and Why We Should
Note from Beth: I've been a big believer in shared knowledge and learning for the sector. IssueLab has been working for ten years to apply the age-old knowledge management question, “what if I knew what others know?” to the hard-earned lessons of nonprofits and foundations.
