“During the past several years we have worked closely with the team from Canfield to design and deliver high quality training for participants in the Non Profit Insurance Program (NPIP),” notes Melanie Lockwood Herman, Executive Director of the Center. “It is gratifying to see Canfield step up its support and we are absolutely delighted that Canfield and NPIP will be co-hosting our 2011 Summit. NPIP has grown impressively over the years and now offers coverage in five states (ID, IL, MT, WA, TX and OR). By offering an array of risk management services in addition to affordable, comprehensive coverage, the overall philosophy of NPIP and Canfield dovetails perfectly with the Center’s educational mission. I speak for the Board and staff of the Center in expressing our deep gratitude for Canfield’s decision to upgrade its support to the Corporate Sustainer level.”

We are proud and honored to help host their 2011 conference in Seattle and look forward to helping see the mission of the Center become a reality to nonprofits everywhere.”
