What You’ll Find Here:
How to Post a Position Listing
NEW! MANY Position Listings Now Online!
Need to list a position quickly? Want to list for a short amount
of time…or maybe for several months? Want to be in control of when
to list?
To serve you better, MANY has shifted its entire position listing
program from its monthly e-newsletter format to its website under
Career HQ.
Here’s what you need to know:
- To be listed, jobs must be museum, culture, or humanities
related.
- Using our template, you create the job listing.
- You select the length of time the listing will appear on the
website.
- You pay for the listing with a credit card at the time you
submit it. If you do not have a credit card, select INVOICE
and we will send you an invoice by email for snail mail.
- New job listings are usually posted on MANY's web site immediately.

when thinking about executive compensation.

A helpful resource for
crafting/revising personnel policies is Creating Your
Employee Handbook: A Do-it-Yourself Kit for Non-Profits by
Leyna Bernstein, published by Jossey-Bass. The book offers 3
versions of each policy: the Creative Approach, primarily for
small or informal organizations; the By-the-Book Approach, for
mid-sized or traditional agencies; and the Leading-Edge Approach,
for large or progressive institutions.
It comes with sample policies on
disk to make it easy to edit to fit your organization. It also has
an index of state-specific policies and includes good suggestions
on formatting the handbook.
You will still want legal counsel
to review your policies, but this book helps get the right
philosophies and words down on paper. It costs about $55.
Daring to
Lead: Nonprofit Executive Directors and Their Work
Experience is a report published by
CompassPoint Nonprofit Services (August 2001) that examines
professional experience, compensation, tenure trends, and
executive training and support. The data is based on the
responses of more than 1,000 executive directors from around the
country. Among the key findings:
* Women
substantially outnumber men in nonprofit executive director
positions -- in most regions they make up 60% or more of the
population; men disproportionately lead large agencies.
* Women
executives are paid less than their male counterparts for the same
jobs, with the differential being especially acute among large
agencies.
* Despite
enjoying their work and reporting to be very skilled at it, fewer
than half of current executives plan to take on another executive
director role.
* The most
significant challenges are high stress, long hours, anxiety about
agency finances, fundraising, and managing people.
* Boards have an
impact on executive tenure and satisfaction and on agency success.
Help with board development was requested by 23% of the
respondents.
This 46-page
report is available at:
