Door Community Foundation: Free nonprofit training session – nonprofit hiring and retention: The Connection Conundrum

July 15, 2024 – Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin  

A free nonprofit training session focused on hiring issues and opportunities will occur  on Thursday, August 22, 2024, at the Sevastopol Town Hall from 8:00 – 11:30 a.m. The  interactive session, Nonprofit Hiring & Retention: The Connection Conundrum, will be  facilitated by Thomas Schultz, a dynamic human resources professional with more than  25 years of experience.  

During the session, nonprofit board and staff members will learn how to make their  recruitment process stand out, how to follow best practices and identify relevant skills  while interviewing, about crafting promising job offerings, and reflect on the role and  timing of feedback with new staff.  

“The hiring process can be overwhelming. We are all looking for ways to improve  recruitment strategies and find staff whose values and skills align with our  organizations’ missions and programs,” notes Jessica Holland, VP of Philanthropic  Services at the Door County Community Foundation. “With the help of UW-Green Bay,  we have engaged Thomas Schultz to bring fresh ideas to Door County’s nonprofits to  help find and retain well-suited staff.”  

Schultz brings a broad blend of skills in areas that include leadership coaching,  employee relations, benefits, training and development, change leadership, and  employment law. He is adept at leading organizational talent and development  strategies that tie to tangible business needs. With an accreditation as a certified  behavioral consultant, Schultz helps employers understand employees’ behaviors and  motivations to create stronger teams.  

The training session will begin with registration and a light breakfast at 8:00 a.m.  followed by the formal training from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. To learn more and  register before August 10, visit www.GiveDoorCounty.org/Training/.
