Ever heard of the “silver tsunami”?

 

If you’ve been lucky to be witness to Julia C. Patrick and her wisdom, you may have heard her speak to this very phenomenon: the draining pool of nonprofit board members who are in their “seasoned” years of life.

 

Julia’s my guest this month on my Business Behind Fundraising podcast! You can listen on YouTube or Apple Podcasts.

It’s becoming a HUGE issue among nonprofit organizations; one that won’t fix itself. 

 

If you haven’t already, it’s time to take action and bring on next-gen board members.

 

It’s important to note, though, that this isn’t about putting butts in those empty board seats. Next-gen folks have unique perspectives—and face unique challenges—that we must consider if they want to be successful.

 

As with anything surrounding this nonprofit sector that we love, there’s no quick fix. Which is why it’s crucial to get the ball rolling NOW. 

 

To hear/learn more about this complex challenge, and the viable solution, make sure to give my podcast episode with Julia a view.
