561. Building a Durable + Retention Focused Team Culture - Channon Lucas, Lindsey Fuller, Michelle Flores Vryn, and Jennifer Mulholland


Listen Later

Meet Channon, Lindsey, Michelle, and Jennifer. They’re here to help us name the elephant in the room: retention🐘 But, we aren’t just talking about retaining our donors - the greatest retention issue that isn’t talked about enough is the retention of our nonprofit staff. For a sector built on relationships, we have to build a culture that creates retention from the inside out.  Tune in to this replay from the Responsive Nonprofit Summit that doesn’t hold back on what we need to do to create working environments teams won’t need to heal from.

💡Learn 

  • About the reality of nonprofit staff retention and burnout crisis
  • The importance of aligning employee passions, strengths, and growth opportunities
  • Tips for leaders to model self-care, work-life balance, and transparent decision-making

Today’s Guests

  • Channon Lucas, Chief Administrative Officer, Mother Cabrini Health Foundation 
  • Lindsey Fuller, Executive Director, The Teaching Well
  • Jennifer Mulholland, Principal and Co-Founder, Plenty
  • Michelle Flores Vryn, Head of Development, iNaturalist
