The Telluride Foundation, in conjunction with the Community Resource Center (CRC) will host a two and a half hour course in non-profit organization program and projects planning on Friday, Nov. 19.

"The seminar is open to all of Telluride's community groups and designed to assist an organization with building and maintaining strong programs," said Lorrie Mahoney, Programs Director of the Telluride Foundation.

The course focuses on the components of good program/project design including: stating the problem/issue, researching supporting documentation, setting realistic goals and measurable objectives, and defining the impact of the program.

The speaker, Steve Graham, is the Executive Director of the CRC, a non-profit organization that develops and strengthens other non-profit organizations and communities across Colorado. He has been with CRC since 1992 when he edited the second edition of the Colorado Grants Guide. Graham has worked with numerous non-profit organizations in Colorado and Missouri over the past 32 years, serving as a community organizer, program director, fundraiser, and executive director for environmental, housing, community action, human service, and technical assistance organizations.

The workshop is scheduled from 1:30-4 p.m. on, Nov. 19, in the Program Room at the Wilkinson Public Library. The cost is $20 per participant. Pre-registration and payment is required by Nov. 16.
