Talk about damned if you do, damned if you don’t: The nonprofit leadership crisis exists, in part, because the next generation of leaders sees a bleak future in terms of personal compensation and is leaving the sector for greener pastures. Meanwhile, salaries for nonprofit hospital executives are so high that a Massachusetts legislator has proposed […]
U.S. Rep. John Sarbanes, a Democrat from Maryland, reminds readers of the Washington Post in a letter to the editor that he wrote legislation last year aimed at giving young nonprofit employees a break on their college loans:

A coauthor of a new study on the struggle of nonprofits to recruit and retain talented employees — and the leadership crisis this could cause as the current generation of executives prepares to retire — and a New York University nonprofits scholar participated in a Washington Post online chat Monday.
