Nonprofit and Higher Ed Board Governance Expert, Allen Proctor, Authors New Book
More Than Just Money: Practical and Provocative Steps to Nonprofit Success available today

Columbus, OH (September 23, 2010)—Allen J. Proctor, author and principal of Proctor's Linking Mission to Money, has released his second book on nonprofit board governance, More Than Just Money: Practical and Provocative Steps to Nonprofit Success (http://www.linkingmissiontomoney.com/books_mtjm.php).

More Than Just Money: Practical and Provocative Steps to Nonprofit Success is available for purchase in individual as well as bulk orders on linkingmissiontomoney.com.

"This is a book that everyone involved with nonprofit organizations will find both useful and inspiring," said E. Gordon Gee, President, The Ohio State University. "Whether you are a staff member, a board member, or a volunteer for such an organization, you are an important stakeholder in its sustainability. More Than Just Money provides invaluable information, practical steps, and provocative lessons to increase the probability of success for your organization."

Based on Proctor's 30 years of experience in helping to drive the success of renowned nonprofit organizations—The Ohio State University, Harvard University, Columbus Partnership, Coalition Against Family Violence and COSI to name a few—More Than Just Money: Practical and Provocative Steps to Nonprofit Success takes the complicated, even arcane world of nonprofit board governance and finance and makes it cogent, understandable and achievable through concise, easy-to-read chapters.

More Than Just Money shows organizations and institutions of all sizes and scopes that by asking the right questions, understanding the roles that all departments play in the bigger financial picture, and knowing how to effectively rise above challenges, nonprofits will be governed well and yield successful financial and programmatic outcomes. "The success of nonprofits and higher education institutions truly is about more than just money," Proctor said. "I believe that true success is achieved when operations and finances stay true to core mission and values."

More Than Just Money is the perfect complement to Proctor's first book, Linking Mission to Money: Finance for Nonprofit Board Members (http://www.linkingmissiontomoney.com/books_lmm.php). Other Linking Mission to Money products are available at the new LinkingMissiontoMoney.com (http://www.linkingmissiontomoney.com).
