It’s public: After 17 years at
the helm of Children’s Fairyland, I will be stepping out of my ruby slippers,
hanging up my big wings and finding out what other magical adventures await me
beyond our beloved park. And I am not alone. Over just the
past few months, four other executive directors of high-performing local
nonprofits have announced their departures.
Get ready, because there will be
a wave of Baby Boomer retirements from the nonprofit sector, representing a
remarkable opportunity for younger—and more diverse—leaders to rise.
