Discussion 1: Changes In Accountability
As you look to the future, what are the ways that you predict nonprofit accountability will change? Will the field experience an "accountability overload" and begin to scale back our demands for nonprofit accountability? Will there be additional demands for nonprofit performance and accountability? Perhaps even mandates for performance? For this Discussion, consider each of these questions and use them as a basis of your Discussion posting.
Post your prediction related to nonprofit accountability and an explanation of the basis for your prediction.
