I found the book to be an excellent primer for a nonprofit thinking about entering or deepening its international engagement. (Charity Channel, 4/14/2004)
I found the book to be an excellent primer for a nonprofit thinking about entering or deepening its international engagement. (Charity Channel, 4/14/2004) ?Ms. Koenig's book offers practical, hands-on advice for both newcomers to the international arena as well as those with more experience in the field. A ?must-read? when you are beginning to engage internationally . . . a trusted companion as you continue your journey.? ?Charles W. Gould, national president, Volunteers of America ?At a time when citizens around the world realize that their destiny is intrinsically linked with others in distant lands, and as transnational networks take new shape and form, this accessible and practical publication adds a much-needed body of knowledge that will support learning and practice about working on a global basis. ?Kumi Naidoo, secretary general and CEO, CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation Going global is both an opportunity and a responsibility for every NGO. The NGO community needs guidance in the processes of exploration and learning that are required to capitalize on the diversity the world has to offer. Bonnie Koenig provides an organized and thoughtful guide to help NGOs undertake this important growth process. I recommend its use as a guide in strategic planning as NGOs prepare for the future. ?Robert Long, vice president for programs, W. K. Kellogg Foundation ?Going Global provides the nonprofit sector in the United States with an immensely useful, hands-on guide to a wide range of possible international connections and dimensions. Koenig deals with everything from legal and communication barriers to complex management challenges. This book should be must-reading for any nonprofit manager even considering international ties.? ?Julie Fisher, program officer, Kettering Foundation, and author, NGOs and the Political Development of the Third World
