NP Solutions Founder Elected to Foundation for Early Educations Board of Directors

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 17, 2010

The Foundation for Early Education (FEE), a California non-profit supporting Early Childhood Education organizations, has named Michael Golub, president and founder of NP Solutions (http://www.NPSol.com), to its Board of Directors. As a board member at large, Mr. Golub will help FEE and allied educational organizations implement best practices for accounting and financial management. Founded in 2001, FEE provides leadership training for administrators of early childhood development programs, charter schools, and other child-focused learning.

Golub sees a clear purpose in his participation. My goal is to help FEE develop a reliable set of best practices for non-profit accounting and financial management. In doing so, the organizations that are served by FEE, including early childhood development programs and charter schools, will have the tools and guidance they need to achieve their institutional goals and directives.

As founder of NP Solutions (http://www.NPSol.com), Golub brings a unique perspective to the board at FEE. Weve been helping non-profit organizations and governmental agencies meet their fund accounting, fund raising, payroll, and HR needs for more than 20 years. Even though NP Solutions implements non-profit software like Sage MIP Fund Accounting and Sage Fundraising 50, Golub is quick to point out, Were not just software vendors. Were completely immersed in the sector and understand the unique challenges of grant fund management, cost allocations, and other aspects of true fund accounting.

Golubs experience providing business consulting and technology services to Early Childhood Development programs, charter schools, and Head Start agencies will fill a need on the board at FEE. Golub adds, While the board members come from diverse backgrounds, they were in need of someone with extensive experience in non-profit finance and accounting. I think my role on the board will round out a wonderfully talented group of folks that are focused on giving back to the non-profit community. It will be very fulfilling work for me personally and Im really looking forward to it.

We are honored to become part of the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation family, whose mission is so closely aligned to that of Shane Camps & Resorts.
