Having worked with quite a few non-profit organizations in my (other) checkered career as a marketing consultant, it’s my opinion that all non-profits are dysfunctional. In some cases it’s ditsy board members, or the director who’s supposed to make bricks without straw, or the unqualified, minimum-wage staffers forced to wear multiple hats and doing jobs for which they have no experience. Add to that the frequent occurrences of directors caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Amazingly, few of these thieves are prosecuted as they would be in a for-profit business, which I think strongly supports my opinion about non-profits.
