Projected baby-boomer retirements have already raised concerns in the private and public sectors. This report focuses on the impact these anticipated retirements will have on the stability, growth, and potential of the nonprofit sector in the coming years. Nonprofit organizations can turn challenges into opportunities and tap into other sectors' talent pools — and their own — to recruit experienced leaders, staff, and volunteers.
