hbs4a scholarship program

For the fourth consecutive year, the Harvard Business School Asian American Alumni Association (HBS 4A Club) will be sponsoring a full tuition, room, board and materials scholarship for a nonprofit organizations executive director to attend the six-day Strategic Perspectives in Nonprofit Management program at HBS this July.

Do you know of any nonprofit organizations that benefit the Asian American community? (I can think of, oh, about four dozen.) If so, encourage the organization's Executive Director to consider spending a week at Harvard to sharpen and develop their leadership skills and learn strategies to make their organizations more effective.

Last year's HBS4A Scholarship recipient was Thoai Nguyen, Executive Director of the Southeast Asian Mutual Assistance Association. Other previous recipients include the New York Asian Women's Center in 2006 and the Chinese Community Center in Houston in 2007.

If you know of any worthy Asian American nonprofit organization whose executive director could benefit from this program, direct them to the HBS4A scholarship website for more information on how to apply.
