Top 10 Responsibilities of a Nonprofit Executive Director
If you are an executive director of a nonprofit organization, then this episode is for you! You may feel overwhelmed with wearing 25 hats of responsibility in your nonprofit. According to The Nonprofit Fixer Sean Kosofsky, it does not need to feel or be this way.
I have Sean Kosofsky on the Grant Writing & Funding podcast to discuss executive leadership for nonprofit organizations.
You are going to get so many goodies to overcome challenges that you might (probably) have with onboarding, engaging your board of directors, fundraising, and time management to manage all of your responsibilities.
What We Discuss In This Episode:
- Different grants available
- How to overcome executive director challenges
- Employment contracts for executive directors
- New board member churn
- Board member term limits
- How to create a calendar for tasks
- Why an ED should outsource
- How to know what to focus on
- Sean’s focus on executive directorship
