How To Hold Onto Your High Performers - Resource Center - AFP
How To Hold Onto Your High Performers - Resource Center - AFP: If you think that hiring and rehiring fundraising staff is draining more than your patience, you are right.

It costs about 1.2 times the salary to replace a front-line development officer who stays only sixteen months in their first or second job—the average length of stay for young fundraisers today. But extending their tenure for an additional year saves money while ensuring that both employer and employee reap the return on their collective investment. As Burk points out:

Beth Millas has a clear sense of direction, though she's been out of college only a year. 'I definitely aspire to be in senior leadership in a nonprofit organization,' says the young professional at Points of Light & Hands On Network in Washington. Her aim: to help build charities' capacity for 'effective societal change.' Ms. Millas is well on her way thanks to nonprofit management training during her college years in Missouri. After internships at United Way, Harvester (the biggest food bank in Kansas City), and as a fundraiser for the YMCA, she took her first job in Washington in June 2006. Recently, she was promoted to director of corporate relations for the country's largest volunteer network. Millas joins the nonprofit world at an exciting but particularly challenging time – and as the need for leaders is soaring."
