About This Blog

I started Perspectives From the Pipeline as a learning experience for me as a young nonprofit professional to formulate my thoughts about the nonprofit sector. As a member of the "next generation" of nonprofit leaders, or as someone who is in that "leadership pipeline" of the next wave of the nonprofit workforce, I see many challenges for our sector as well as many new ideas for solving them. Unfortunately, when people my age speak up, few people listen. So this blog gives me a way to speak to the issues I care about in the hopes that they also speak to someone else. I write in this space about nonprofit leadership and organizational issues as well as share resources and ideas that might inspire and help others in their work. My goal is to bridge the gap between challenges and solutions within the nonprofit sector, especially as they relate to the younger workforce and nonprofit leaders of color.

If you're wondering where to get started in reading this blog, here are some postings on topics I write about frequently that may interest you:

I also maintain a Nonprofit Management wiki that features nonprofit management resources on the web as well as a plethora of nonprofit professional development opportunities. Feedback is always welcome! Email me at rosettathurman@gmail.com.

Rosetta,
I'm excited to see a young professional blogging about such an important topic!

I'm 9-year non-profiteer as well as a Gen X'er who works with Boomers and older adults. I see a lot of what you refer to about the lack of succession planning from these older generations and how so often young(er) people are overlooked for top management positions and the prolific myth that we are slackers.

I also agree that non-profits are a critical component of our society but there are definitely ways they can be improved upon.

I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts!
