Nonprofits face many unique challenges compared to the for‐profit sector when it comes to recruiting and retaining top talent. The work can be physically and emotionally daunting, the pay often lower and the benefits less generous. Combine that with a coming exodus from the sector as the baby boomers that currently fill most leadership positions retire, and you could have a looming “brain drain” and leadership void that could hamper charities of all shapes and sizes for years to come.
