Maggie King Retires from Volunteer Center of Maricopa County

The Volunteer Center of Maricopa County announced that Maggie King, President/Executive Director retired effective as of September 1, 2003. "King led the Volunteer Center during a period of tremendous growth and made its impact in the community more than ever before" Cathy Boyd, President of the Volunteer Center's board said.

She also served on the boards of numerous state and national organizations, co-authored a book on volunteerism and was an adjunct faculty member at Arizona State University's Nonprofit Management Institute.

Five New Agencies Selected for the Nonprofit Organization Self-Assessment Program

The Nonprofit Organization Self-Assessment Incubator began in 2000-2001, when the Center for Nonprofit Leadership and Management [CNLM] initiated a pilot project that provided staff and technical assistance to five Maricopa County nonprofits to work through an extensive agency self-assessment process. Participants are challenged to answer questions that go to the very heart of their organization: why it exists, who it serves, and what it must do to make a difference. The end outcome is to increase organizational effectiveness. To date, ten agencies have completed the process:

  • Family Service Agency
  • Florence Crittenton Services of Arizona
  • HomeBase Youth Services
  • PREHAB of Arizona
  • West Valley Child Crisis Center
  • Arizona Women's Education and Employment (AWEE)
  • Catholic Social Service of Central and Northern Arizona
  • Chrysalis Shelter for Victims of Domestic Violence
  • Tempe Community Action Agency
  • Valle del Sol

Now entering it's third year, the Center for Nonprofit Leadership and Management is very pleased to announce the selection of five new agencies to participate in the program:

  • Call-a-Teen Youth Resources
  • Crisis Nursery
  • Improving Chandler Area Neighborhoods [ICAN]
  • Body Positive
  • Teen Lifeline

The Center's local leadership team will work with these agencies over a nine-month process of organizational self-assessment, discovery and transformation, utilizing tools adapted from the Leader-to-Leader Institute (formerly the Drucker Foundation for Nonprofit Management).
