The Foundation Administrators Network (FAN) is a Philanthropy New York professional peer network of HR and operations professionals at member grantmaking organizations. FAN hosts quarterly meetings on a broad range of topics relevant to HR and operations administration.
The social impact sector is facing a growing crisis. The lack of deep investments in programs, policies, and practices to promote overall wellbeing and supportive environments are driving staff to leave their roles and the sector at alarming rates. Burnout, increasing stress, and growing political instability are just a few of the reasons senior leaders cited as reasons for leaving or considering leaving their current roles.
The team at The Memo I Never Got (MING) and On-Ramps have recently published a report to examine trends in the field: Sustaining & Retaining Senior Leaders in The Social Sector. This work showcases crucial insights into what senior leaders in the field need to not just survive, but thrive in their roles. And the findings - and recommendations - can extend to staff on all levels across your organization.
Please join us for this interactive in-person meeting that will include breakout discussions to support peer learning exchanges about strategies and lessons learned as folks have attempted to address burnout at their organizations.
