Standard Operating Procedures for Success
Whether you are the manager of a non-profit, volunteer-run farmers’ market or a vendor with several employees, developing operations manuals, checklists, and other procedural documents is an important step in ensuring that your organization runs safely, efficiently, and with room for growth.
