During economic downturns, organizations must seek new funding sources. That’s one reason why demand for grant writers continues to increase. For anyone interested in a new career in 2011 or becoming a more valuable employee, the College of Extended Learning at California State University, San Bernardino offers “Grant Proposal Planning and Program Development” on Sat., Jan. 22.
