College Cost Reduction and Access Act Helps to Alleviate Nonprofit Leadership Crisis

On March 3, 2008, we blogged about the growing leadership crisis in nonprofits and recent studies that address this phenomenon.  Senator John Sarbanes (D-MD), one of the legislative architects of the recently enacted College Cost Reduction and Access Act, published an editorial in the March 11, 2008 Washington Post explaining that he believes the CCRA will help with this leadership crisis.  Senator Sarbanes’ most salient point is that “Linking loan forgiveness to a decade in the nonprofit sector will not only help build careers, it will create future leaders in the field.”  To see the full editorial, go to “Letters to the Editor: Nonprofits and New Grads” in the March 11, 2008, issue of the Washington Post.
