Cultivating & Captivating Next Gen Board Members with Julia Patrick of American Nonprofit Academy

Julia Patrick exemplifies that it’s never too late in your career to make an impact on the world around you. After a career in media covering social, political, and cultural issues in Arizona, Julia pivoted and dedicated her life to helping the nonprofit sector through the American Nonprofit Academy. As the CEO and Founder, as well as being the co-host of The Nonprofit Show, Julia allows nonprofit professionals to engage in discussions on problem-solving, innovation, and change within the sector.

Sherry and Julia discuss how growing up in Arizona influenced her passion for nonprofit work. Julia dives deep into how board members can set up their organization for future success by empowering the next generation of leaders.

What You Will Discover: 

✔️ Your processes are key to attracting and retaining younger talent. What’s going to happen to your organization after you leave it? If there is not a structure in place, your ideal candidates may not be comfortable stepping in to lead.

✔️ Be strategic with your approach to board recruitment, seeking individuals with diverse backgrounds, skills, and perspectives. Your board member’s tool kits are vital to sustaining success within the community you serve!

✔️ Next-gen board members are focused on impact and finding solutions, rather than simply giving money. Foster an environment that promotes this thinking!
