So, you're thinking of sitting for the GPC exam-more formally known as the Grant Professional Certified (GPC) examination. And no wonder! The GPC credential is highly sought-after by grant professional generalists, meaning grant professionals who've mastered a wide range of grant-related knowledge and who have a deep understanding of grant programs, funding sources, opportunities, organizational development, and community collaboration. To pass the exam, grant professionals must exhibit a number of skills, especially the ability to write persuasively. The authors, each of whom holds the GPC designation, have written a comprehensive yet conversational refresher-level look at the GPC exam administered by Grant Professionals Certification Institute (GPCI). If you're thinking of taking the exam, or simply want to know more about the grant field, this guide is for you! You may already know someone who's taken the exam and become certified.

About the GPC Exam The GPC exam tests you on the skills and competencies you need to have to perform well in the grant field. In order to sit for the exam, you need to meet certain eligibility criteria. The GPC exam itself has two parts: a multiple choice section and a written section. If you pass both sections, you'll receive the GPC credential for an initial period of three years. What Does This Manual Cover?

Download or read book Electoral Dysfunction written by Victoria Bassetti and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2012-09-04 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine a country where the right to vote is not guaranteed by the Constitution, where the candidate with the most votes loses, and where paperwork requirements and bureaucratic bungling disenfranchise millions. You're living in it. If the consequences weren't so serious, it would be funny. A concise handbook designed as a fact-filled companion to the forthcoming PBS documentary starring political satirist and commentator Mo Rocca, Electoral Dysfunction illuminates a broad array of issues, including: the Founding Fathers' decision to omit the right to vote from the Constitution—and the legal system's patchwork response to this omission; the battle over voter ID, voter impersonation, and voter fraud; the foul-ups that plague Election Day, from ballot design to contested recounts; the role of partisan officials in running elections; and the antidemocratic origins and impact of the Electoral College. The book concludes with a prescription for a healthy voting system crafted by leading voting-reform experts, whose agenda for change includes a call for universal voter registration and unform national standards. Published in the run-up to the 2012 election, Electoral Dysfunction is for readers across the political spectrum who want their vote to count.
