NANOE National Director: Meet, Tracy Ebarb, NANOE’s National Director who boldly challenges STRONG CEOs to CONFESS, OFFEND & DREAM their way to organizational success. Charities need a new type of leader with a completely different job description THAT PUTS THEM IN CHARGE OF A NONPROFIT! The chief executive officer of a 501(c)3 corporation should be called just that, the CEO. (STOP using the title Executive Director– ED carries with it the baggage of failed management models.) Strong CEOs lead people to build and maintain effective organizational and operational capacity. It’s time to set boundaries with board members, staff, donors and the public by CONFESSING, OFFENDING & DREAMING! You can learn more about Tracy by visiting https://TracyEbarb.com.

Tracy is fond of sharing, “Years ago singer/songwriter Jackson Browne made the phrase ‘running on empty’ famous and in comparison that’s exactly what the nonprofit sector has been doing for decades! RUNNING ON EMPTY. Executives work harder than ever to secure a shrinking piece of the philanthropic pie.
