Nonprofitting while Millennial, a Conversation with Liz Smith and Alex Matthews Apr 15, 2016

Show notes

Millennials, you've heard the rumors... too selfish... too many selfies. Alex Matthews, a nonprofit graphic designer and social media manager, and Liz Smith, a realtor who spends her time serving on boards, stop by to bust the myths and maybe reaffirm the stereotypes you've heard about them. Alex DID take a selfie to post on Twitter while we were recording after all...
We talk a lot about the New York Times article, What Happens When Millennials Run the Workplace, and the Forbes Fund post about What Nonprofits Need to Know about Millennials. And then, we realize... Millennials Don't Exist by Adam Conover is perhaps the most adapt piece on the subject.
Say hi to Alex on Twitter @mralexmatthews, buy or sell a house with Liz at Remax, or check out the Trivia Night Liz mentioned for St. Vincent's.

Some of the articles we talk about are Your Actions Might be Disempowering your Board from Ignited Fundraising and Why Boards Micromanage from Creating the Future. We'll play NPBWG (the NonProfit BuzzWord Game) an idea brazenly stolen from Nonprofit with Balls. You can connect with Natalie on LinkedIn.
