The Fordham Center for Nonprofit Leaders launched its new Seminar Series on November 1st with a presentation on “Current Challenges in Nonprofit Leadership” by Fred Scaglione, Editor of New York Nonprofit Press.

Scaglione offered thoughts on the importance of the nonprofit human service sector to society as a whole.  He discussed the current generational transfer of leadership taking place within the sector, noting that this changeover in CEO position had been occurring more slowly than originally predicted.   Nevertheless, it was beginning to get underway in a serious fashion and was picking up speed.  

Scaglione also stressed the active role which the nonprofit sector must play in advocating for critical health and human services .  “There is a debate taking place across the nation about whether government can or should help those among us who need help the most,” he said. “If the nonprofit sector doesn’t stand up and speak out on this issue, who will?”

The Fordham Center for Nonprofit Leaders is a new training initiative jointly sponsored by the University’s Graduate Schools of Social Service and Business Administration. Directed by Allan Luks JD, former Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYS, it provides educational opportunities to those who want to advance their careers in nonprofit leadership.
