Today, many powerful executives are looking for ways to make their life and work more meaningful. Some former CEO's top elected public leaders and other executive level people are turning to the non profit world to find a hungry outlet for their skills and to find ways to leverage their wisdom for good.
Doing your homework to find out what exists is always a good place to start. Visiting websites today can give you a birdseye view of who needs what and provide more data for your search. It used to take forever to get this kind of research, or at least a copy of the New York Times help wanted ads to find so many opportunities. Today, you can gather information in just a few hours that might have taken you months to gather in years past.
