18. How I Became CEO

It’s only been in the last decade or so that professionals have started to aspire to become CEOs and Executive Directors of nonprofit organizations… In the past, many nonprofit leaders have stumbled into the nonprofit sector without initially realizing they were creating a long-term career for themselves. Now, however, many professionals new to the nonprofit field see these senior leadership positions as their dream jobs. In this episode, I chat with two nonprofit Executive Directors about how they earned their current positions.   My guests this episode include: --Joyce Lavery from Safe Haven Family Shelter --Lisa Steele from Carpenter’s Square   Plus, don’t miss my Anonymous Q&A segment where I answer a question from an anonymous listener, and my Submit A Brag segment where I highlight an outstanding nonprofit professional.   Support my podcast and suggest new content at patreon.com/nonprofitjenni   Music by Emily Summers.   Opinions expressed in the Nonprofit Jenni Show are very general in nature.
