KEES/Alford Executive Search’s Post

The #volunteer pipeline can be a long and winding road! Next week, join Michael Cowden and me for the March #CRVM Crunch & Munch, brought to you by ASAE: The Center for Association Leadership and the Component Relations & Volunteer Management Council. This topic polled the highest amongst our #CRP colleagues and is always a major pain point in #volunteerengagement. So let's figure it out and share ideas, #bestpractices, and tackle your questions about volunteer development, leadership recruitment, and all things #leadershipdevelopment and #succession. We hope you can spend your lunch crunching and munching with us on TUESDAY, MARCH 19, at NOON ET. #ASAE Members can register here: https://lnkd.in/eK24W4zt #chaptercomponentrelations #leveragechapters #brewerprattsolutions #assnchat #associations #ISCS #volunteerleadership #assn #chapters #leadershipdevelopment #nonprofits #nonprofitleadership

Today, more and more nonprofit boards are seeking a chief executive with transformational leadership styles. In the past, nonprofit boards often placed a strong emphasis on recruiting chief executives who were passionate about the mission, experienced with grant writing, program development, possessed good management and community relationship skills. Though these skills remain important, they are secondary to the ability to communicate one’s vision and motivate all stakeholders to work towards its achievement.

Working 10+ years in non-profits and churches, I have learned (mainly through failure) that you cannot just use anyone to fit a volunteer role! I have been guilty of this because I had a lot going on, positions need to be filled, and (let's be honest) if you can pass a background check they you are in! 😂 Volunteers don’t have all the time in the world, but they do have compassion to serve others! To honor their time, we have to create opportunities for volunteers to truly shine based on their strengths and zones of genius. Using Maxwell DISC Method: **If your volunteer is D-wired, he or she may thrive in challenging environments. **If your volunteer is I-wired, he or she may shine in group activities. **If your volunteer is S-wired, he or she may flourish with activities they can start and finish. **If your volunteer is C-wired, he or she may shine in technical and detail- oriented tasks. DISC is just another great tool to better lead people and utilize their gifts! #Volunteers #ministry #nonprofitleadership #leaders #leadership #DISC #renewcoaching

Great news and updates from local #nonprofit leaders you should know!

Today (July 1) is National Nonprofit Leader Day. Fulcrum Nonprofit Leadership (Fulcrum) would like to take this opportunity to recognize and celebrate Charter Member and extraordinary leader, Major Nesan Kistan. Thank you, Major Nesan, for your commitment to excellence, servant leadership, and all things good. At Fulcrum, we believe nonprofit leaders like Major Nesan deserve to be recognized and celebrated. Why July 1st? While any day is a good day to show appreciation for nonprofit leaders, July 1 has special significance. First, many nonprofits will have just completed a very long and challenging fiscal year the day before (June 30). This deserves special recognition, especially given the sacrifices so many leaders likely made throughout the year and down the home stretch. Second, many nonprofits start a new fiscal year on July 1, launching into another year of meeting lofty goals and high expectations while accelerating mission delivery and community impact. If there is a special nonprofit leader in your life, please recognize them today with the hashtags #nationalnonprofitleaderday #fulcrumleader #servantleader.
