Working in a non-profit organization.
Friday, September 5th, 2008A recent article by BOB MOOS of The Dallas Morning News, DALLAS, USA, explores the trend for US Baby Boomers to work beyond the traditional retirement age, with more than half interested in work that helps others.
“Boomers’ interest in charitable work comes as nonprofit agencies face a serious leadership deficit, said David Simms, an executive with the Bridgespan consulting group. A surge in retirements and a proliferation of nonprofit agencies will create a need for 640,000 senior managers over the next decade — more than double the current number, he said.”
This pattern is likely to repeat in Australia as demands increase in the community sector for additional services and skilled managers, leaders and workers to lead these valuable organizations through the challenges ahead.
