"Libby and Detrick have compiled a rich and interesting set of cases that are sure to inspire thoughtful conversations in any NP management course"

-- William A. Brown

"The originality of the work is a huge advantage, as is the fact that they are teaching cases that end without a clear, "best" answer.  Finally, the inclusion of issues unique to international nonprofits is a welcome addition and one I have not run across in previous texts."

-- Doreen Swetkis

"Libby and Detrick have compiled their extensive knowledge of the real issues that face our nonprofit sector to help students glean important lessons from each case.  It is refreshing to have such a tool to assist in the education of our future nonprofit leaders."

-- Emma A. Powell

"Students will appreciate learning through these cases, as they serve as a safe place for pre-service students to test out ideas and solutions to real problems, and allow mid-career students an opportunity to reflect on similarities and differences in their own workplaces, all while tying theory to practice."

-- Erin K. Nemenoff

"This text is an excellent tool to provide students the "critical-thinking" application that is missing from many texts."

-- Laurie Taylor-Hamm

"Cases in Nonprofit Management —A hands on approach fills a real hole in the nonprofit curriculum.  While good texts are increasingly coming to market, there are few supplemental texts and really nothing else that seeks so clearly to facilitate critical thinking and discussion among students."

-- Shelly Arsneault

"I would have no problem fitting this book into my graduate courses."

-- Bonnie Peterson

"Having short mini-cases for a broad range of topics that typically get covered in an Introduction to Nonprofit Management class is very useful and fills a long-standing need."

-- Stefan Toepler

Pat Libby is a popular speaker, writer, and change management consultant who views her work with third sector organizations through the kaleidoscope of her experiences as a long-time nonprofit CEO, academic, board member, and consultant to innumerable organizations.   A self-described “recovering academic,” Pat founded and led the Nonprofit Institute at the University of San Diego for 14 years – creating graduate programs at the master’s and doctoral levels, an endowed research center, and community education programs serving hundreds of people and organizations each year. Alumni of these programs now lead many premier nonprofit/philanthropic organizations in the U.S. and abroad or serve on the faculty of third-sector focused academic programs. In forming the Institute, Pat realized a vision for an academic center that would interweave research, theory and practice.   Pat is the author of several books. The Lobbying Strategy Handbook (SAGE 2012), 2nd edition (Oxford University Press, 2021) is an engaging “how-to” guide for nonprofit practitioners who are seeking a simple blueprint for learning how to take part in the legislative process. She is co-author, with Laura Deitrick, of Cases in Nonprofit Management (SAGE 2017), and is a contributing author in Technology, Activism and Social Justice in a Digital Age (Oxford University Press, 2018), John McNutt, editor.   Pat’s largest readership is reached through a popular monthly blog where she writes on a variety of nonprofit leadership topics.
