Defining the Need*

Strong leadership is critical to the ability of nonprofit organizations to carry out their missions and their key roles in our society. Developing new nonprofit leaders can’t wait!

  • 640,000 new senior nonprofit managers will be needed in the next decade.
  • 75% of executive directors report that they are planning to step down in the next five years.
  • One in three executive directors is eventually fired or forced out of the job.
  • Only 29% of executive directors have discussed a succession plan with their boards of directors.
  • Finding and developing talented managers is the most common management challenge faced by nonprofits today.
