An article
in The Dallas Morning News November
15, 2012, edition on page 1D “Jobless Executives Put Skills to Work for
Nonprofits” discusses how an organization, Executives in Action, facilitates consulting
projects for nonprofit organizations.
Executives
in Action, founded by Ashlee and Chris Kleinert of Dallas in January 2009
matches senior executives in career limbo with nonprofits that need high-level projects
done but do not have the expertise or finances to pull them off.
Some
examples of their projects include technology integration for North Texas Food
Bank, an inventory system for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul thrift store,
and a strategic plan for the Dallas Children’s Theater.
Many of
Executive in Action executives subsequently return to top management positions,
and others embrace the world of nonprofits with a career change.
I am most
impressed with this imitative shown by the Kleinerts and encourage readers of
this blog to visit executivesinaction.org
and read
more about this organization.
