45: Navigating the Nonprofit Leadership Journey (David Malloy)

SUMMARY

Making a job transition is challenging enough under any circumstance, but how about with the addition of a pandemic, cross-country logistics, and the addition of a new baby in the family?!?! That’s exactly what David Malloy had to maneuver as he assumed his new role as Executive Director of the California-Nevada United Methodist Foundation. David and I had great discussion in episode #45 of the Path in which he shares many lessons learned from the national search process as well as the orientation into a senior nonprofit leadership position.  He also highlights crucial networking and life-long learning tactics that paid off right when he needed them to, and offers great take-aways for our listeners.  David also finishes with some great books for that are sure to enhance the collections for those of you interested in similar Executive Director opportunities.
