“We’ve had to adapt so much, but we’re still afloat...”
This is a common sentiment heard lately from professional staff and administrators of nonprofits whose organizations have adjusted in remarkable ways this year. Their bold efforts to ensure that clients and communities have been properly served have also been accompanied by challenges. Yet, they ARE still here, have remained afloat, and may need support recovering from the many effects of the pandemic on organizational functions.
Nonprofit administrators may be dealing with professional staff turnover where key roles such as supervision and project management are affected. Hiring a consultant as an interim supervisor or project manager is one way to utilize resources by temporarily filling a void left by the departure of professional staff. This could help steady the organizational foundation while working toward building the new normal.
