dc.description.abstract | The organization that is the focus of this study, referred to as East Coast Women (ECW), is an affiliate of a globally based, nonprofit organization, with a mission of empowering women by offering a variety of services to encourage independence. The problem of practice that this capstone addresses is how this chapter of ECW can attain its goal of reaching as many clients as possible through program expansion. The team took a qualitative approach to the analysis, which included the collection of both primary and secondary sources. The overall findings of this study revealed that many members of the chapter felt the ED roles were not being filled, the ED did not have clearly defined roles and responsibilities, and an absence of goals has led to a lack of accountability. | en_US |
