Do you ever have one of those days where all the dots connect? That happened to me on Monday. I started the day with an article from The Chronicle of Philanthropy showing that nonprofits are the third-largest employer in America with 11.9 million employees. I was so intrigued that I had to dig deeper.
Kudos to Ted Ford Webb of Ford Webb & Associates in Concord, Massachusetts for an insightful article on the inevitable challenges facing staff, board and supporters when a founder-led nonprofit embarks on a leadership transition.
This can be a quandary or at least an ongoing topic of debate in nonprofits. Some feel asking their board members to give a specific amount and recruit a specific amount of funding from others is instrumental.
When we do a search at Armstrong McGuire as part of our Executive Transition Management offering, we work collaboratively with clients putting together a detailed position announcement that outlines the opportunity, as well as the primary responsibilities and related candidate qualifications. I’ve been reviewing a lot of resumes and applications as part of these searches and lately I have been struck by a few things.
Whether you’re ready to expand your organizational capacity and move forward with purpose, or just want to talk shop, we’d love to connect.
