MBA Student Leads $75K Crusade of Nonprofit Organization
Author publishes new book on assisting nonprofit organizations.
- (1888PressRelease) June 22, 2011 - Knoxville, TN - The economic downturn continues to hurt nonprofit organizations that are assisting disadvantaged individuals. An MBA student has pledged some of the proceeds of her book to assist a nonprofit organization that assists disabled people to stay afloat during the current financial crisis.
Noriko Iwanaga Chapman, a native of Japan, is a production control supervisor for DENSO Manufacturing (TN). A mother of two, she has over 16 years of experience in the automobile industry and is a cancer survivor.
Chapman notes, "In 2009, when I was diagnosed with cancer, it was devastating to think about the disease and an unknown future. A year later I survived and gained my health back and was given a second chance to live." She regained her strength and managed to attend Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) and enrolled in its MBA Program. It was the start of her quest to help nonprofit organizations. She chose to assist the Tennessee Rehabilitation Center located in Maryville, as a part of her project. "During the research, I was inspired by the staff, and individuals with disabilities who were trying very hard to learn work skills and seek permanent employment."
Her research was the main inspiration for her new book, Second Chance: An In-depth Case Study on Nonprofit Organization's Resource Allocation and Operational Maximization. It is co-authored by her LMU professor Dr. Daryl D. Green. Chapman states, "It was a perfect project that God prepared with the perfect timing, a convenient location, hard-working people, and Dr. Green's challenge to have students publish a book. It was a Second Chance for me to go back to school and resume my career after surviving cancer."
The authors has pledged 30 percent of the proceeds to the Tennessee Rehabilitation Center. Due to the economic downturn, the nonprofit organization finds its government funding being slashed and hence is running a campaign to raise money and continue with the good work. Chapman has vowed to help this organization in any way that she possible can. Sales from her book will go a long way toward this effort.
Chapman has become a social advocate for individuals with disabilities seeking permanent employment without reliance on public assistance. In the book, she suggests ideas for accommodating more people with disabilities who deserve a second chance.
Second Chance provides nonprofit organizations with operation management tools to make them more efficient and better equipped to assist their clients and constituents in meeting their needs. Through the eyes of Ms. Chapman as a new MBA student, readers take a magical journey of overcoming a difficult situation in operations management and life.
