" I first learned about The Little Book of Gold back in 2018 from a literacy program in the state. The part-time executive director asked each of the organization’s board directors to read the book and share their insights at board meetings which led to meaningful conversations. When I learned that there were now 4 books, I thought, what a great idea for a book series!"
– Anna Bierer, Wisconsin Literacy
Explore nonprofit leadership with your colleagues across the state with author Erik Hanberg’s 4 book series:
- The Little Book of Gold
- The Little Book of Nonprofit Leadership
- The Little Book of Boards
- The Little Book of Likes
Wisconsin Literacy will give each member copies of the books. Share with your board and staff!
Author Erik Hanberg will join us for 2 virtual workshops in the fall and winter.
Together, we will:
- strengthen the impact and visibility of our literacy programs
- increase program funding and support
- empower new board directors
- lead with confidence
- create successful social media strategies
It is our hope that you, too, will pass the books around to board directors and other leaders in your organization, and talk to each other about ways to implement these strategies in the books. We are excited that author Erik Hanberg will lead us through virtual workshops to help us take an even deeper dive into the series’ themes.
