Have a look at what our Supporters, Educators, Partners and Scholars have to say about ASF and the importance of training and development in the Not-For-Profit sector:

 " I'm delighted to endorse ASF and the important capacity building role it performs in a sector so sorely in need of it.  I'm passionate about both the not for profit  (NFP) and education sectors. Any society, to be prosperous and inclusive, requires both sectors to be in good shape. And I'm delighted to commend ASF because it brings the two together!  ASF fulfills the critical role of ensuring that hundreds of Australian NFPs can access further education, training and development to become more efficient and effective. In 2012, it is particularly pleasing to note the ASF partnership with the Australian-American Fulbright Commission which will enable prestigious international Fulbright Scholarships to be made available to leaders of the Australian NFP sector. ”

"As a result of attending the course we are looking at how social networking can support our volunteers, and have reviewed some of our social marketing practices.
 I think the possibilities are endless. There are many ways we can utilise social media to tell stories and provide information to caregivers at end-of-life.  
Like many not for profits, our organisation is reliant on a very small paid team and a large number of volunteers, so allocating resources towards training can be challenging. I see training and development as essential to the NFP sector, and the courses that the ASF offer enable people in the NFP sector access to programs that may not otherwise be there. Thank you for this opportunity."

"The CDC was tremendous. It was jam packed with information but structured in a way that enabled participants to quickly acquire a sound understanding of basic governance concepts. There are probably half a dozen simple techniques or tools that I picked up which will enhance my contribution to the organisations I work with, however it was the learning around risk management which will have the most profound impact on my approach as a director and CEO.  The vast majority of NFPs are service providers, and as service providers all of what they do is accomplished through their people. Success follows when an NFP’s staff and volunteers are engaged, knowledgeable and focussed, and these things come through training and ongoing person al and professional development."

 "As a result of the course I was able to learn new skills related to the cost of acquisitions. I am now able to pass on to colleagues many new methods to improve response rates for acquisition campaigns and know how to compute Customer Lifetime value. I am able to understand the distinction between market & customer segmentation. 
Access to quality training and development for individuals employed in the not-for-profit sector is vital for a number of reasons:
1.  It helps to attract and retain staff, 2. It supports the organisation to operate at a level equal to its for-profit peers, and 3. It ensures that individuals employed in this sector are using best practise methodologies in their work with communities and governments."
