This is one of several ways the Center helps nonprofits exchange ideas, solutions, and support -- across urban and rural ~ settings, across fields of work, across races and ethnicity, across ideologies, and across other barriers that can divide us. ~~ How can you use it? Use it to identify others involved in the sort of work your organization - does -- as potential collaborators or as sounding boards in your daily work. Use it to find other nonprofits in your county so you can look together at the particular challenges your region faces. Use it to share concerns and experiences with others in the same role you have -- whether you’re a board or staff member serving as an executive director, board chairperson, treasurer, or in a program, fundraising, or administrative position. Index by County. Use this index to find nonprofits in your area that share your commitment to organizational excellence. Please contact your nonprofit neighbors in your own county and region. Index by General Field. Use this new index to find others working in your field -- from the arts to women’s issues. Each organization chose its own primary field category (see choices at front of Index). Who is included? This directory includes the 1,251 organizations that were current Members of the N.C. Centerfor Nonprofits as of August 6, 1999, except for a few that asked not to be listed here. The Network includes 3,540 board and staff members and volunteers in these organizations. Each organization was asked to review a report detailing its information to be published in this directory. Purpose statements are included for all that responded to our requests for this information. See the next page if you want to add more names to your listing. Note the membership date after each organization’s name. We especially salute the 238 faithful Founding Members who joined by January of 1993 and the 315 faithful Charter Members who joined between January and July of 1993. What about the budget ranges? Center dues are on a sliding scale by the organization’s annual expenses (see next page for details); the budget range shown is based on the actual dues paid by each organization. What else? The Center also provides a variety of services to help you find other nonprofit practitioners with expertise on particular challenges your nonprofit faces -- issues related to leadership, boards, management, fundraising, communication, ethics, evaluation, advocacy, collaboration, planning, compliance, and many others.

Based on the size of your budget, your Center membership automatically covers two to five people (including the primary contact person who is listed first in your entry) on our mailing list to receive Common Ground and other mailings personally. See the dues schedule at the end of the directory to see how many names you can have as part of your membership (note the dues schedule may change).

To make additions, please send the names, titles (both within your organization and in their regular jobs if relevant for board members), addresses, phone/fax numbers, and e-mail addresses. We will send each person a complete packet about the Center resources and services available to them.

If you want to choose a different primary field. Before you change it, look at the "Index by General Field" at the back of the directory.

It incorporates comparable data from the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and the Elizabeth I. Much of the analysis is quantitative in nature: chapters compare the appointments of justices of the peace during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, and reveal that purges of the commissions of the peace were far more common than is generally believed. Furthermore, purges appear to have been religiously- based, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I. There is a gap in the quantitative data beginning in 1569, only eleven years into Elizabeth I’s reign, which continues until 1584. In an effort to compensate for the loss of quantitative data, this dissertation analyzes a different primary source, William Lambarde’s guidebook for JPs, Eirenarcha. The fourth chapter makes particular use of Eirenarcha, exploring required duties both in and out of session, what technical and personal qualities were expected of JPs, and how well they lived up to them.
