Nonprofit Professional Competency Revalidation

June 30, 2010
During the summer of 2010, the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance undertook a comprehensive research study to ensure that the competencies being used to prepare nonprofit managers and leaders are current and reflect the management and leadership skill required to meet today’s challenges. To our knowledge, this report is the first comprehensive assessment ever conducted of the skills required by the nonprofit sector.
With the growing trend of executive managers and leaders retiring in the nonprofit sector, it will require continuous preparation of entry- to mid-level managers and leaders to fill the gap. Ultimately, this will require the sector to usher in a new generation of leadership to ensure the organizational bench-strength of our nonprofits.
The final report, The Skills the Nonprofit Sector Requires of its Managers and Leaders, can be downloaded here.

American Humanics (AH) is seeking your input to assure that work ready talent is available to organizations and agencies who serve families, our communities and the world. American Humanics is the only national nonprofit organization bringing together nonprofit organizations and higher education for the purpose of credentialing future nonprofit managers and leaders. Founded in 1948 we work with 62 affiliated colleges and universities to insure that students preparing to work in the nonprofit sector obtain industry specific competencies and skills.
This national survey will determine what competencies are needed in effective managers and leaders. Your input will drive the continued development of the American Humanics Nonprofit Management and Leadership credential. This is the largest survey of its kind and seeks the input of all segments of the nonprofit sector. In addition to strengthening our nonprofit management and leadership credential, one of our goals is to encourage conversation about national standards in nonprofit sector professional development. We realize that this is a vast conversation. We are seeking baseline data to help focus this conversation around meaningful competency development.
We are seeking the input of nonprofit executives, human resources leadership, those with human resources responsibilities and nonprofit management faculty. We would like representation from diverse cross-section of the nonprofit sector. Please feel free to pass this along to other nonprofit leaders that you know. The deadline for completion of the survey is August 31, 2010. The survey is easy to complete and should take 10-20 minutes.
The results of the survey will be published and distributed publicly in the fall of 2010. More so, the findings will support curricular development in our network of colleges and universities.
American Humanics thanks you in advance for your support. The results of the survey will be shared later this year and will ensure the nonprofit workforce is equipped to handle future challenges.
