Polly Hill Arboretum executive director Tim Boland has been awarded a Chanticleer scholarship to pursue a course entitled Executive Program for Nonprofit Leaders, an intensive two-week program offered in March through the Center for Social Innovation at Stanford University.

This prestigious opportunity will afford Mr. Boland a better understanding of how to integrate the arboretum’s organizational mission with economic strategy, while providing extensive training in strategic planning and personnel management.

The scholarship is offered by Chanticleer Gardens in Wayne, Pa., and provides professional development opportunities for public garden staff.
