Lisa Brown Morton, President and CEO, Nonprofit HR Solutions

According to the latest Nonprofit Employment Trends Survey, a majority of nonprofit organizations (64 percent) do not have at least one staff member who exclusively manages staffing and/or human resources. In the same survey 81 percent of organizations agreed the HR function is critical to their organization’s ability to achieve its mission. But small organizations were less likely than medium sized and large organizations to report that the HR function is important to their organization. Why is this? Why is there a correlation between an organization’s size and its opinion of the importance of human resources? Join our panel of executive directors in a discussion of HR’s role in small to medium sized nonprofits. Packed full of resources and strategies, this session will show how small organizations can obtain the benefits of a strong HR function even if they don’t have resources necessary for a full-time department.
