Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the Nonprofit Academic Centers Council (NACC), I encourage your attendance and active
participation in "BenchMark 3.5: The 4th Conference on Nonprofit and Philanthropic Studies" to be held
March 24-27, 2011 in San Diego, California. A Call for Papers and participation has been issued by NACC and
you are encouraged to submit both papers for peer review and other programming ideas for how to assure
the conference meets the needs of the multiple stakeholders who have interest in our field.
BenchMark 3.5 is designed to consider the development of nonprofit/nongovernmental management,
voluntarism, social entrepreneurship, and philanthropy as a field of study in higher education.
The conference builds on the legacy of the prior three conferences held in 1986, 1996 and 2006 (see
http:///www.naccouncil.org/abstracts for
information about prior conferences as a context for the planning for BenchMark 3.5).
BenchMark 3.5 is presented by the Nonprofit Academic Centers Council and hosted by the University of San
Diego School of Leadership and Education Sciences' Institute for Nonprofit Education and Research.
The Arizona State University Lodestar Center for
Philanthropy and Nonprofit Innovation is the lead sponsor for BenchMark 3.5. Please check the NACC web
site often for updates on registration and accommodations, paper submission and review, thematic tracks,
conference content, activities and sponsorship opportunities.
Start making your plans now to attend what promises to be a most exciting, thought-provoking and
innovative conference.
See you in San Diego in March 2011 for BenchMark 3.5!
Sincerely,
Robert F. Ashcraft, Ph.D.
