While many nonprofit practitioners are setting personal resolutions at this time of year, I think it''s equally important that nonprofits set resolutions too. For example, you can ask their opinion on new programs you are considering launching. In 2010 nonprofits heavily invested in Facebook. I love year-end planning.
