SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 22, 2000

As nonprofit organizations enter the 21st century, they face a range of challenges and opportunities, both new and familiar. In today's fast-paced job market, how do agencies attract and retain a qualified and diverse workforce? How can they use computers, the Internet and other advanced management tools to create more effective and efficient organizations? How do organizations make their boards, programs and agencies truly accessible to diverse and underserved populations?
