- 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

Nonprofit Leadership 601
In this blog I write about nonprofit leadership, nonprofit careers, the nonprofit workforce, nonprofit technology, and nonprofit management education.
The White House Forum on Nonprofit Leadership is going on today. In attendance at this invitation only event is the who’s who in the nonprofit sector. What’s being said at the Forum is nothing new, we’ve heard it many times by many different speakers at many different conferences, and in many different reports (e.g Daring [...]
Two amazing incoming doctoral students will be joining our team at the Caster Family Center for Nonprofit Research this fall. One doctoral student is an excellent quantitative researcher and the other is an excellent writer. I am looking forward to working with them and tapping into each of their individual areas of expertise. They are [...]
It is interesting how “branding yourself” is quite a hot topic right now across the blogosphere. Trista Harris has a entire Do Gooder Guide dedicated to branding oneself for personal and professional success. Then there is the new book Me 2.0, which is all about “building a better brand to achieve career success.” Also, Rosetta [...]
I am presenting my analysis of studies that compare nonprofit, for-profit and government wages at the Nonprofit West Coast Data Conference. Since this is an academic conference I must stick to the data rather than state my opinions. However, there is so much I want to say beyond my presentation. Luckily this blog is all [...]
I was on a conference call for the Next Generation Leadership Forum, a coalition of many US nonprofit infrastructure organizations (Idealist, CompassPoint, NCN, BoardSource, GVSU, YNPN and more) all passionate about nonprofit leadership resources and research in the sector. One person on the call mentioned: Have you seen the most recent Nonprofit Quarterly where David [...]
We have a new administration. We need to stop complaining about all the problems in our nonprofits and show Obama and his team that nonprofits are important and vital to society. We make up 10% of the US workforce (2008 Nonprofit Almanac) and we work in a variety of fields important to society–hospitals, human service [...]
Sadly, Darian Rodriguez Heyman Executive Director of the Craigslist Foundation is moving on. For those of you that don’t know about the Craigslist Foundation–it is an amazing organization that “creates community in the nonprofit arena by ‘helping people help’, regardless of cause or sector.” Craigslist Foundation serves many people entering the sector by “educating and [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
