Trainers

Maryland Nonprofits' training programs and roundtables provide more than 200 educational opportunities annually to the nonprofit sector.  We offer sessions from beginning through advanced and are always looking for new topics and new perspectives as well as new trainers to conduct session on existing topics. 

More than 3,000 individuals attend Maryland Nonprofits training programs each year.  Volunteer trainers are in a position to gain visibility with organizations that attend their sessions and their bios are included in our training calendar.  The majority of our trainers volunteer an average of three times per year to conduct training and most believe they are receiving follow-up business as a result.

For more information on becoming a Trainer, please contact Ursula Anhary at uanhary@mdnonprofit.org.

Peer Reviewers

Peer reviewers are trained individuals responsible for evaluating an organization's compliance with the Standards for Excellence.   Using a peer review process ensures that individuals with diverse opinions and expertise in the non-profit sector will review and judge the application packages, and that the outcome will be fair.

Peer reviewers restrict their opinions to documents, activities, policies and processes that are covered by the Standards for Excellence.   This ensures that all organizations are being treated alike, and that any potential biases of Peer Reviewers are avoided.  Peer reviewers always have the opportunity to make suggestions to the Ethics Standards Committee for addition, deletion or revision of the existing standards.   We orient and train new peer reviewers during the first quarter of the year (Jan to March). 

For more information on becoming a Peer Reviewer, please contact Amy Coates Madsen at acmadsen@mdnonprofit.org or (800) 273-6367 x37.
