Incentivizing Marketing Behavior in Your Staff

tnpadmin2016-08-19T09:06:35-04:00

As a nonprofit leader, you should always be attempting to optimize your staff's behavior so that you can maximize your impact while keeping your costs low. However, doing so is not always easy. Although your staff is likely emotionally attached to your cause, it’s easy for them to get into the groove of their roles. If left unchecked, this can eventually alter behavior, making the person reluctant to do anything above and beyond their responsibilities and that can make garnering extra work incredibly difficult. Why Should Marketing Be Everyone's Responsibility? Depending on your organization and mission, marketing is often one of [...]

A Millennial’s Perspective: Job Search

tnpadmin2016-07-01T23:29:29-04:00

How I Knew It Was Time To Move On… Just a little over a year ago, I left my very first communications job. I adored this job. I had a lot of really great projects that not only validated my skillset, but challenged it each and every day.

Diversity in the Nonprofit Board Room

tnpadmin2016-06-20T11:10:05-04:00

One of the best assets of a nonprofit organization is its Board of Directors. One of the biggest challenges, however, is creating a board that is diverse, inclusive, and representative of the community it serves. Jeri Eckhart-Queenan, a partner at The Bridgespan Group, believes: “The most effective boards are those that are able to bring together a diverse group of people that bring a range of thought and perspective.” Having a diverse board not only provides a variety of backgrounds, skills, and resources, but also assists you in understanding your community’s needs. A heterogeneous board may, also, lead [...]
