Workshops

Among the key findings in CNE’s 2023 Virginia Nonprofit Sector Report is that securing and retaining skilled staff is a major challenge for the sector.  Are sabbaticals a viable tool for nonprofits in their effort to retain staff and combat burnout?

Join us for a virtual panel discussion to explore:

• The structure and length of sabbaticals
• How organizations prepared and operated during sabbaticals
• Any major individual or organizational changes noted upon reentry after sabbaticals
• Lessons learned

Our panelists have taken sabbaticals and include:

• Elizabeth Irvin (Women’s Initiative)
• Peter Thompson (Center at Belvedere)
• Ronald Spears (Elk Hill)
• Karen Gulliford (Great Workplaces, moderator of discussion)
