"Professor Shamima Ahmed literally gifts us with her second edition of the book Effective Nonprofit Management. Her 'real life' focus permeates this work: from case studies, to advisory broads of nonprofit executives for each chapter, and more. With her cross-sector focus, she provides a major contribution to the field by tying the insights of the book to public administration theory/public service/public professionals. Ahmed’s important work will no doubt inform and engage public professionals in all endeavors."Laurie DiPadova-Stocks, Park University, USA"The second edition of Effective Nonprofit Management provides nonprofit educators and managers with an excellent resource to support learning and instruction. This textbook supports nonprofit management through recent, relevant literature and opportunities to apply learning through the content. It should be included in any nonprofit educator or manager’s list of resources."Michael W. Everett, Michigan State University, USA "Dr. Ahmed's text is highly readable without off-putting jargon and is meticulously researched. It adroitly incorporates contemporary real-life stories of current best practices in nonprofit management while weaving in enough theory to provide students with context to understand the role of the sector in civil society—making a substantial contribution to our overall understanding of the modern nonprofit organization. Effective Nonprofit Management, Second Edition effectively describes the important role that nonprofit organizations play in ethically and competently serving the needs of our most vulnerable when government and the business sectors are unable or unwilling to do so."Gary M. Grobman, The Online Nonprofit Information Center, USA
