    1. I would think if you had read the article you would have understood that it was a conversation based around “And that’s despite the fact that 73% of all not-for-profit employees are female, according to Philadelphia software developer DonorPerfect.”

      But that would require you to read the article…. and understand that it is quite obvious the numbers can’t easily be explained unless you think “men are smarter and better leaders”…. Which by your comment I assume is where you and Keith B above are coming from?

  1. Curiously the article doesn’t get at the decision-makers in the NFP CEO selection: the boards. I’d guess that the percentage of female board members in these hundred organizations is not a whole lot different than the CEO percentage.

  2. I see major challenges with the leaders of smaller non-profits in that they are often “one and done.” After they survive the incredible challenges of running a small nonprofit, they’re out, often becoming consultants or going into for-profit. Few and far between are those leaders who are CEO of numerous Indianapolis non-profits in their careers. Our nonprofit environment (namely for the smaller nonprofits) is brutal with little leader support, huge funding challenges and low pay. The women leading the smaller nonprofits can’t bear to stay in the game to ascend to larger organizations.
