Building Effective Nonprofit Teams to Drive Change (Featuring 2025 LinkedIn Nonprofit Talent Report)

Missions to Movements

Building resilient nonprofit teams has never been more crucial. Today I’m bringing you an enlightening conversation recorded LIVE at LinkedIn’s 2025 Nonprofit Talent Impact Summit in D.C.
You’ll hear from Betsy DiMalanta from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Dr. Luisa Boyarski from Georgetown University's Center for Public and Nonprofit Leadership about what it actually takes to develop effective teams that can weather uncertainty and how to navigate today's complex talent environment.
If you’re a nonprofit leader, you’ll walk away with fresh ideas on hiring, retaining, and developing talent in the world of AI. Plus, you’ll hear Betsy and Luisa’s three critical pillars for leading through change: communication, co-creation that empowers team members, and clarity around mission.

Listen now to transform how your organization can approach talent development in uncertain times and don’t miss the 2025 LinkedIn Nonprofit Talent Report.
