Knowledge sharing with Next in Nonprofits
This special 200th Anniversary episode of the podcast is hosted by KD Bauer and features members of the Next in Nonprofits team! KD talks with Steve Boland, Kathleen Conroy and Chelley McLear about sharing knowledge in the nonprofit sector. (Team members Bruktait Kebede, Keren Gudeman, and Grace Mayo contributed ideas off mic!) Next in Nonprofits chooses to do this in many ways, including by producing this podcast!
Many charities learn a great deal about community support, new tools, partnerships and so much more. Sharing that learning is not always the top priority of any one group, but organizations like Next in Nonprofits get to learn from the stories and missions of many different groups. KD leads the team through a conversation about what brings people to nonprofit missions, how knowledge sharing - especially in a team - can create better outcomes, and contributes to a framework of abundance over scarcity. Also, listen in to know why we are referring to the Nine Inch Nails song "Echoplex".
