Executive Transition Survey Report
Paige Teegarden of Managance Consulting conducted and authored the largest-ever study that examines the tenure and future plans of nonprofit executives. The Annie E. Casey Foundation funded the study and was an active partner.
The survey covers 2,200 respondents and the key findings point to potentially disruptive implications in nonprofit leadership, as the Baby Boomer generation transitions out of the sector.
Key findings include:
- Representatives of the large Baby Boom generation now in their 40s and 50s make up 72.5 percent of all nonprofit leaders.
- Today, 72 million Baby Boomers are in the overall workforce, with only about 38 million Generation X-ers to take their place.
- There is limited leadership diversity in the sector, as people of color lead just 16 percent of the organizations surveyed.
- The Baby Boom generation of leaders will transition out of the sector in two waves. The first is already beginning to occur and will continue through 2010. The second wave will peak in 2020, as all Baby Boomers approach traditional retirement age.
- Women executives outnumber men (58 percent of nonprofits), but they run smaller organizations and make less money.
