I am very pleased to announce that I will be among the speakers at the 2010 Nonprofit Human Resources Conference!
The conference, which is produced by Nonprofit HR Solutions and sponsored by The Chronicle of Philanthropy, will be held October 3-5 in Washington, DC.
My session, “Pay for Today (and Tomorrow): Compensation in the Nonprofit Sector”, will take place on Monday, October 4th, from 3:45pm to 5:00pm. The session will:
- Focus on prevailing practices and emerging trends regarding compensation in the nonprofit sector
- Provide the new, established, or non-HR professional with insight into the current and future state of nonprofit compensation
- Offer a broad survey of the state-of-the-art in topics including pay-for-performance, variable and incentive pay, and non-cash rewards
- Consider the impact of changes underway in the nonprofit sector — including the increased focus on organization evaluation and measurement of impact and the emergence of low-profit, social enterprise, and other hybrid forms of organization — on the future of compensation.

Hi Andrea,
Thank you very much for your comment and for reaching out to me from Taiwan! I am glad to hear of your interest in the intersection of HR and nonprofit, and am glad to provide any information or help that I can.
When I read your comment, the first topic that came to mind was the question of how government regulation of nonprofit organizations — particularly executive compensation — varies from country to country. I have written a couple of blog posts about practices in the US and in Canada. Just this morning, I came across an article about what is going on in the UK in that regard (I am trying to relocate it again now). It would be very interesting to know how government’s role varies across other countries as well.
Another thought is what the role of HR is in social entrepreneurship and hybrid for-profit/nonprofit organizations. (For example, there is a movement towards “L3C” corporations in the US, which are “low profit” organizations). Related to this might be the question of the role of HR in CSR (corporate sustainability responsibility) — although that moves a little further away from nonprofit.
Those are my first thoughts. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of more help. Thanks again for your comment!
