xPresso Ed - The Association Leadership Series is written for nonprofit association executives, staff and volunteer leaders and is meant to give a 30,000 foot overview of what it takes to run an effective nonprofit trade or professional association. xPresso Ed is meant to be used to fast track professionals who are new to the field of association management, as well as provide an additional resource for experienced executives who need a refresher. This content book contains CalSAE's xPresso Ed curriculum and is presented in outline format with the knowledge that skilled adults will be reading it. The idea behind xPresso Ed is to show you what you need to know and allow you to make the judgment call as to whether or not you need to investigate any topic in more detail. Chapters are organized to take you from management to programs and services with many stops in between. Written by people who know what you do and want to share. xPresso Ed.
