What if you had a checklist to help streamline your duties as an executive director of a nonprofit organization?

Sometimes an executive director of a nonprofit organization is stereotyped as juggling a million things and getting paid peanuts. But this doesn't, nor shouldn't, need to be the case. For a nonprofit organization to thrive, the executive director should have a roadmap. Some nonprofit organizations may not even have an executive director yet, and are even drooling at this aspect of having one!

But the deal is - if your nonprofit is so fortunate to have an executive director - don't burn them out!

So here's the old hierarchal order of a nonprofit. There is a board of directors that provides guidance for the nonprofit organization and then the executive director implements this guidance. Of course, the board should still support the mission in governance ways, and other staff, volunteers, and consultants can help out too!

The executive director is then often tasked with a lot of items, ranging from taking minutes of meetings to writing grants! This is why they get the stereotype of juggling a lot of diverse responsibilities.

Well, if you know of a busy nonprofit executive director that feels like they are virtually drowning, or if you are one, then you will want to listen to this week's podcast!

Sean discusses the following:

How to communicate with your board of directors
How to delegate
How to manage time (time management hacks)
What activities to focus on most of the time (high level)
What you should ask for in a contract and why one is important
Much more...
