Paul Cypher, President and CEO of NP Training Works, knows the challenges you face as a nonprofit professional. As Vice President for Advancement at the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC) he had the challenge of trying to provide training opportunities for 20+ staff members on an annual training budget of less than $6,000. In 2001 he saw the same challenge magnified, when, as Executive Director of the Baltimore Museum of Industry (BMI), Paul was tasked with providing training opportunities for 62 employees with an annual training budget of $25,000. It was very frustrating to see the great need for training among a very dedicated staff with passion for the mission and not have the resources or ability to address the need.

While dealing with this frustration he had the great pleasure of going through the Master of Arts in Strategic Communication and Leadership Program at Seton Hall University. Also, at the BMI, as Executive Director, Mr. Cypher led the Maryland Center for Technology Education. Both of these experiences showed him the value and opportunity offered by online education.

As he began to discuss this issue with peers he realized that he was not alone and something needed to be done. After years of research he realized that the answer was available through affordable and available training online. The goal of NP Training Works is to provide the highest quality, latest and greatest learning opportunities at costs that are affordable to professionals in the nonprofit field.
