I woke up on Tuesday this week wondering how the non-profit sector’s attempt to cash in on the first week of the holiday gift giving season would go this year. Without a doubt, there was much, much more chatter leading up to #GivingTuesday on social media this year than the prior three years since its launch.

“Nonprofits not tapping staff for senior posts” is the title of a recent blog post by Philanthropy North Carolina’s Todd Cohen. It leads with the statement “Succession planning consistently is the top organizational concern of nonprofit boards and CEOs, yet nonprofit leaders are not promoting current staff to fill senior positions, a new study says.”

The number of nonprofits in North Carolina is growing by leaps and bounds. Some have effective boards and some boards are just names on the letterhead. Over the years, if there is one thing I’ve learned it’s that successful and impactful nonprofits have fantastic boards.
