Description:

In recent years there have been widespread efforts to diversify nonprofit leadership, particularly executive director positions, boards, and the development department. While strides have been made, there is still much work to be done. Many hirers and recruiters for these roles are finding it challenging to build diverse pools of candidates, much less hire a candidate that meets their goals. In this workshop, we will discuss the myriad challenges in diversifying the fundraising profession and explore opportunities and effective practices in successfully identifying, recruiting, and retaining the right candidate.

In this workshop, participants will:

• Participants will be introduced to the types of mindset and behavior shifts (both personal and organizational) that can will support DEI hiring, and
• learn marketing and outreach strategies that will help them to reach candidates from diverse backgrounds.

Audience:

• Executive Directors and
• Board Members of organizations with current vacancies and/or hiring/recruiting responsibilities for fundraising or board positions.
