Study after study confirms what conventional wisdom tells us the majority of nonprofit leaders of today will not be here tomorrow (tomorrow being defined as the next 5 to 7 years.)  Current leadership positions in nonprofits are predominantly filled with members of the Baby Boom generation who will continue to transition into other types of work or retirement leaving a leadership deficit over the next decade that creates one of the biggest challenges facing the social sector today. 

What are the generational similarities and differences in leadership?  How can we be more proactive in promoting younger leaders?  What steps must we take to create good endings and new beginnings?   We will examine what research tells us, reflect on core tried and true principles, challenge our assumptions,  and define actions we can take today for the sake of the leaders and organizations of tomorrow.
