We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Lois Frankel, best selling author, executive coach, and internationally recognised expert in leadership and development of women will be joining the inaugural Not-For-Profit People Conference. Dr. Frankel earned her doctorate in Counselling Psychology from the University of Southern California and received an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Phillips Graduate Institute. Although she is proud of her many accomplishments, none so much as founding two nonprofit organisations, MOSTE: Motivating Our Students through Experience (www.moste.org) and Bloom Again: Sowing Seeds of Health and Hope (www.bloomagain.org). Her work with women and girls was recognised through Maybelline New York’s “Empowerment through Education” award, the Los Angeles County’s Woman of the Year Award in business and industry, and a Presidential Medal from SUNY Oswego.
