metropolitan areas, the report provides current data on executive
turnover, compensation, career plans, and retirement. It also explores
leading causes of executive burnout and identifies the skills that
community-based executives most want and need to build along with the
professional development strategies that they employ. The report
concludes with recommendations to executives, boards, funders and
capacity builders. |
