Alliance Nonprofit Management is the professional association of individuals and organizations devoted to improving the management and governance capacity of nonprofits - to assist nonprofits in fulfilling their mission.  

The Alliance is a learning community that promotes quality in nonprofit capacity building.  The Alliance convenes a major annual conference, networks colleagues year-round online, and provides member discounts on books and other publications.  The Alliance provides visibility to its members in the online “Find a Consultant or Service Provider” directory, the People of Color Roster, Alliance Insights eNewsletter, Member Spotlights and membership directory.

Their site has a lot of useful information around the topics of Board Development, Strategic Planning, Financial Management and Risk Management. There are many reasons to become a member of the Alliance - to increase your visibility, to network with a wide range of knowledgeable capacity builders, and invest in your own ongoing professional development.  Their site gets almost 1 million hits a month! So it makes sense if you are a nonprofit, to look into joining.
