In Striving for Excellence in the Social Sector, Eric Schmall commemorates the achievements of the social profits in the Louisville and Southern Indiana region that have been recognized during this past decade by the Center for Nonprofit Excellence. Through his review of the five award categories (Art of Vision, Art of Leadership, Art of Governance, Art of Collaboration, and Art of Diversity) Eric reveals how these key subject areas are vital to creating a vibrant, successful social sector. He then takes the next step by revealing how these principles have been used by over fifty award-winning social profits-including organizations with mission focus in the arts, culture, humanities, religion, education, environment, human services, health, and international aid-as they take the hero's journey toward outstanding mission achievement.
