New Public Governance (NPG) provides insights on the need for collaborative actions between organizations from all sectors. This study applies an NPG lens to investigate a state’s effort to enhance mental health and substance use recovery through building capacity in peer-support service providing organizations (SPOs). We used 37 participant interviews from a training program. Results show variations between intended and actual outcomes and highlight NPG as a relevant framework for capacity building and co-creation of public value in dynamic partnerships between the public sector and SPOs.}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION}, author={Varkey, Sapna and Lawrence, Kara and Chelbi, Leila and Stewart, Amanda J. and Clerkin, Richard M.}, year={2022}, month={Oct} } @article{melville-holder_lawrence_leight_johnson_stewart_2022, title={Preparing Nonprofit Professionals: An Educational Needs Assessment from a Worker Perspective}, volume={12}, ISSN={["2157-0604"]}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.18666/jnel-2022-11450}, DOI={10.18666/JNEL-2022-11450}, abstractNote={Nonprofit management education is informed by curricular standards and feedback from students and alumni on the utility of its curriculum components. In a professionalizing and diverse nonprofit sector, we were curious to ask nonprofit workers about the skills and competencies they need for their work. Applying a survey design, we asked nonprofit workers about the skills and abilities they used in their work relative to general professional and nonprofit curricular standards. In our findings, we explore differences according to the professional profiles to make sense of the sector’s diverse workforce. Our assessment supplies fresh insight into the competencies nonprofit education promotes, describing how nonprofit professionals view the skills needed for their work, and how they think about professional development. The findings inform those who teach or administer nonprofit degree programs, as well as those who work or want to work in the nonprofit sector.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF NONPROFIT EDUCATION AND LEADERSHIP}, publisher={Sagamore Publishing, LLC}, author={Melville-Holder, Jo'Ann L. and Lawrence, Kara and Leight, Matthew D. and Johnson, Brad A. and Stewart, Amanda J.}, year={2022}, pages={1–19} }
