Nonprofit Leadership 601
In this blog I write about nonprofit leadership, nonprofit careers, the nonprofit workforce, nonprofit technology, and nonprofit management education.
The theme of the last session of the YNPN leaders conference was inspiration and gratitude. Chapter leaders from Chicago, NY, Twin Cities, DC, Denver, San Diego, Philadelphia, Kansas City, Cleveland, Austin, San Francisco, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis, Louisville and Phoenix shared their favorite moments of the conference and what they planned to take back to their [...]
Wow — let me say that again — Wow!! I just attended a session led by YNPN DC and I’m impressed. YNPN DC board members shared their best practices they use in their chapter that I think ALL Nonprofits should follow. They have best practices for EVERYTHING, here’s a taster: Procedure manuals for events Shared [...]
Most nonprofits would say no. Yet many emerging leaders are well on their way to becoming future “Bill Gates” types in the nonprofit sector and eager to participate on a nonprofit Board of Directors. Yesterday, Alexis Terry from BoardSource discussed common barriers emerging leaders face when trying to serve on nonprofit boards. She said, many [...]
YNPN has over 15,000 members in almost 20 chapters across the nation. Because of this, YNPN members work in practically every sub-sector and region in the nation as well as are employed in every type of nonprofit job (e.g. development, programs, operations). It is amazing and exciting to think about the collective knowledge and expertise [...]
I just got into DC off the red eye. I’m a little groggy but happy to be in the room with emerging leaders from across the nation. This morning’s panelists (Stacy Palmer, Chuck Bean, Glen O’Gilvie and Tamara Lucas Copeland) are discussing the state of the DC Nonprofit Sector. The panelists discussed how the economy [...]
A couple of months ago I stepped down from the YNPN San Diego board because of my class load. At the time I was relieved to have one less thing on my plate. However recently Emily Davis, YNPN SD’s, founder asked me to attend the board retreat since I’ve been with the organization since its [...]
I took a community organizing course this summer taught by Mike Eikler, Director of Consensus Organizing Center at San Diego State University and who wrote the book Consensus Organizing Building Communities of Mutual Self Interest. My project for the class was with the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network San Diego. My parter for the class project [...]
Emily and I have provided consulting to a number of start-ups in our own consulting practices EDA Consulting and Nonprofit Management Employment Alternatives, however for me, this is the really exciting part–to be in the trenches creating an organization. When Emily and I met for the first time a little over two months ago we [...]
Now that I have left the Foundation, I am pursuing some new opportunities. I am spending more time working with John F. Kennedy University in the Bay Area to develop more nonprofit leadership seminars. I am working with an amazing woman–Emily Davis to create Young Nonprofit Professionals Network San Diego. Emily has put a lot [...]
