When I first started working in the nonprofit sector, I knew administration was one of the important responsibilities of my role as executive director (ED). But it was not until I served in three different nonprofits, I finally realized administration ranked as probably the most important job I had. Everything you do as an ED has some aspect of administration tied to it. And, if you are fortunate enough to have staff to delegate various administrative tasks, you still need to know how to supervise staff and assess how well they are doing. In this book, the second in the Nonprofit Management Simplified series, I provide you with sample policies, procedures and templates to help you be a great administrator, all of them extensively field tested.. Included in the book are: Steps for starting a nonprofit, or bringing one into legal compliance, Strategies for establishing and maintaining legal and financial structures, Ways to evaluate staff performance, Ideas for moving toward an accelerating technology approach, Procedures for developing effect and efficient administration, including facilities and equipment management, Important issues to consider for risk management, and Proven strategies for implementing virtual platforms.
