The Chronicle of Philanthropy: Live Discussions: Ask a question

Grooming the Next Generation of Nonprofit Leaders: an Intergenerational Discussion

Tuesday, June 16, at 12 noon, U.S. Eastern time.

The nonprofit world is poised for major leadership changes, as the baby boomers who have founded and led so many of the nation's charitable organizations reach retirement age.

But many young nonprofit workers are not so eager to take on leadership duties unless the job of charity executive is refashioned. Many of the most-talented young workers say that they worry that nonprofit leaders' salaries are too low and that they would have to make too many sacrifices to keep their work life in balance with their other activities and obligations.

In an online discussion on June 16, we will explore ways in which today's nonprofit leaders can inspire the next generation and respond to the concerns of younger workers.

Join us to discuss how employees from all generations can better work together for the common good.
