You need to find new, innovative ways to recruit, retain, and develop the next generation of leaders. This guide can help you...
- Become a "nonprofit ambassador." Get the facts about the sector, its prominence, and its scope. Use this information to dispel myths and point to the ways nonprofits support and strengthen social, political, and economic life.
- Save time on human resource functions.The 15 job descriptions alone are worth the cost of the book! Plus, there are many other resources to prompt your thinking about where to post job openings, and how to present your organization in a way that attracts talent.
- Refer people requesting informational interviews to a valuable resource. You’ll be doing them a great service, and yourself a favor (these interviews take time).
- Steer talent to the sector. If you teach at a college or university, request that the career office and library get a copy. Also, give the book to every recent or soon-to-be college graduate that you know. What a great gift!
