Diversity is needed at every level of a nonprofit organization from #staff to #board to #volunteers. Prioritizing diverse candidates in interviews for employees and directors embracing diverse perspectives & enhances creativity and innovation. #DiversityInHiring

The governance committee of a #nonprofit is a workhorse group dedicated to caring for the development of the board and its member's experience. Do you have one?

[Janetta Cravens @Janetta]

In case anyone is wondering, only #humans are currently employed at my company, https://t.co/go9hcd1L1W

Has your nonprofit established a policy and procedure for handling and resolving conflicts within the organization? Effective conflict resolution promotes a healthy work environment. #ConflictResolution

@anothercohen I'm sorry for the layoff. It raises more questions than answers for me. Mainly... why a rebrand?

[Janetta Cravens @Janetta]

Nonprofit boards that regularly review and update their strategic plans are more adaptive to changing circumstances and emerging opportunities. Flexibility and agility are key. #StrategicReview

[Janetta Cravens @Janetta]

I'm curious what #continuousimprovement looks like in your nonprofit. Is it regular evaluation? Generative discussion with the board? Commitment to candor throughout the organization? Asking for a friend...

#nonprofits can have systemic impact by actively engaging with government entities and policymakers to advocate for their cause and influence positive change. #Advocacy is #Education #NonprofitAdvocacy

[Janetta Cravens @Janetta]

Nonprofit boards should ensure there are clear processes for board member recruitment and selection. Finding the right individuals with the necessary skills and passion is crucial for board effectiveness. #BoardRecruitment

It seems the longer I do this work, the more opportunities there are for collaboration than for competition. #nonprofits and #communities are ecosystems.

[Janetta Cravens @Janetta]

@PaulBRamsbottom That seems like a subjective question based on one's geo-positioning. But I like that the teacher has raised the question.

Inequity in America is about so much more than income. @latimes poverty, politics, racism, economics — all play a role in long life. https://t.co/lZnQG4WpgT

Managing others is hard because you and the person you supervise have to be willing to suffer learning.

[Janetta Cravens @Janetta]

Most Americans don't know what a difference nonprofits make in their life says @Philanthropy . They've been impacted but don't think about them a #nonprofit. Such as @NPR, @girlscouts and @MeTooMVMT. What nonprofits can you name? https://t.co/HVX6pRJpZF

[Janetta Cravens @Janetta]

all leaders need development AND support, whether you are the #CEO or the Board Chair. The work of moving others forward to make progress on our greatest challenges is too great to do it alone. #coaching, #nonprofitleaders, #GetStuffDone

Wisdom: "Nonprofit organizations have a unique advantage for success because the board of directors provides insights and council for management. Small business owners don't have that. We have our challenges, but this is a strength that can be used by owners." Dr. Kim Leveridge
