Best Senior Staff Development Idea We Have Heard in a While–Or Maybe Ever

This idea about finding the right professional development opportunities for talented people in your organization makes a lot of good sense on so many levels!

Taylor Strange is director of special programs at the Center for Nonprofit Advancement in Washington, and in that position she struggled with the very common problem of the mismatch of traditional development opportunities and the needs of senior-level staff.

"You see so much available for executive directors and the man or woman at the top," Strange said. "But it gets harder and harder for those at the senior level to find something that’s a little bit different out there. I can’t tell you how many classes, conferences, and seminars that I’ve been to, but they’re more on the basic level, and I need something a little bit higher."

Then she took notice of what a local theater company was doing in response to the problem.
