5 Lessons and tips for an executive director

I have led both a nonprofit and a state agency during stormy times. During my tenure as executive director, one of my greatest joys was pulling everyone together as a team to create an extraordinary sense of connection. In those moments, the barriers between the board, executive leaders, front-line staffers, and behind-the-scenes workers became irrelevant—we were all in it together. The challenges that inevitably come with working at a nonprofit became opportunities to draw powerful takeaways. Crisis creates connections.”
