- Oooh thanks! I used to work on a political campaign, and we had tons of volunteers that seemed to manage themselves... so it was very weird to move to the non-profit sector and find my employers don't even use volunteers, because they're considered uBy

(cash & equivs * 365) / (total expenses - depreciation expense)
and Cash Flow to Total Debt =
(net income + depreciation expense) / total liabilities

Nonprofit Leadership 601
In this blog I write about nonprofit leadership, nonprofit careers, the nonprofit workforce, nonprofit technology, and nonprofit management education.
Why is change so hard? Why do we constantly disagree about what is the best operating methods for nonprofits? Why are we complaining about how organizations are turning to new forms of earned income and new ways of operating to survive? Some may think I’m naive and young for asking these trivial questions. I know [...]
Next week I turn 30 and I’m having a pre mid-life crisis. As much as I enjoyed working for Aspiration (the technology) nonprofit that taught me about blogs, wikis and social media, I feel this new technology is connecting me more with millennial’s and distancing me from many of my older colleagues that aren’t as [...]
The Independent Sector hosted a session yesterday discussing predictions of the future of the nonprofit sector. I could not attend this session because I was also presenting at that time, however this morning I attended a great session where Gary Grobman from Indiana University of Pennsylvania presented his predictions of the nonprofit sector. Actually it [...]
I am getting cynical, it must be the jet lag. I’m feeling like a broken record at this conference. I am raising my hand in each session to presenters saying helllo are you aware of this piece of research or that regarding nonprofit leadership and nonprofit workforce? I’m not trying to be a snooty but [...]
The plenary at ARNOVA sounded a lot like the plenary at IS. Everyone is excited about Obama’s campaign and to leverage this excitement. Ruth McCambridge Editor of the Nonprofit Quarterly spoke about how we need to come together as a sector to address key issues like the economic crisis. She brought up a great new [...]
I’m live blogging from ARNOVA — the main conference for nonprofit researchers and academics. I’ve presented twice this morning once about the Nonprofit Congress as a new social movement and another time about the results from a study of American Humanics alumni and their career paths and their perceptions of the AH program. I am [...]
I appreciated the opportunity voice my opinions and perspectives of the nonprofit sector during each of the IS conference sessions, however as I reflect back on these voice opportunities I am questioning if I utilized my voice in the most effective matter. Several of the sessions I attended had so many people raising their hands [...]
I’m here at National Philanthropy Day in San Diego with over 900 people in attendance. It is that time of year to recognize local philanthropists and volunteers that have impacted the San Diego nonprofit community. I am here because my friend Emily Davis of EDA Consulting and Board Chair of YNPN San Diego sponsored a [...]
What would a nonprofit conference be without a session about nonprofit effectiveness. The panelists provided suggestions and recommendations for nonprofits to be more effective. For example, Perla Ni was there and recommended her new website Greatnonprofits.org as an opportunity for nonprofits to share their stories and message so donors and foundations can see their effectiveness. [...]
This is the first conference that I have been to that truly has an NGen voice. We are participating in sessions and speaking up about issues that are important in the sector including the work/life balance issue, creating and maintaining social movements, reaching out through social media, and so much more! And we are meeting [...]
