with Maryann LaCroix Lindberg | Wednesday, April 12 | Holton Hall, Fourth Floor Conference Room-Winston Prouty Campus, Brattleboro, VT | $50
Hiring good development professionals who can do great work for your organization is not rocket science, but there are a few tips that can help you improve your odds of getting and keeping the right person. People who know how to raise money are in high demand and organizations, particularly in more rural areas, struggle to find qualified development staff.
This seminar will explore how nonprofits can better attract, hire, manage and retain high-performing employees, look in unexpected places for talent, set realistic goals, ensure that board and other staff members know what is expected of them when raising money and establish a work environment that supports development professionals, especially younger staff members.
