Roundtable Discussions at AYSPS
at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies

Nonprofit Leadership Roundtable

The 2nd Annual Nonprofit Executive Leadership Roundtable was held in the spring. Burton Weisbrod, the John Evans Professor of Economics and Fellow of the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University presented “Does Institutional Form Matter, and Why?” Using material from several of his papers and the same model, he explained behavior in industries as varied as hospitals and symphony orchestras, higher education, museums, jails and airport security. CEOs, executive directors and other prominent Atlanta-area leaders convened for an executive forum and discussion on critical issues in the nonprofit sector.
