What should nonprofit leaders do to prepare for election uncertainty? Some organizations have spent months mapping scenarios, while others are just starting to plan. But regardless of where your nonprofit stands, there are concrete steps you can take now. We spoke with nonprofit leaders about their plans for implementing flexible work policies, creating safe spaces for staff dialogue (without assuming shared views), and staying focused on their missions through uncertainty and election anxiety. We also look at how organizations are connecting with peers and planning their communications for what promises to be a tense post-election period. Sara Herschander reports: https://bit.ly/40DMl7A How is your organization preparing for election week? We'd love to hear from you. Share your thoughts in the comments below.
