Who Leads Nonprofit Organizations? examines leadership representation, governance, and community alignment in the nonprofit sector. The paper considers who leads nonprofit organizations, how leadership and governance structures relate to the communities organizations serve, and why representation matters for legitimacy, accountability, decision-making, and mission alignment.
The paper is grounded in a practical concern: nonprofit organizations often exist to serve communities that may not be fully represented in executive leadership, board leadership, or governance decision-making. This working paper explores the organizational and governance implications of that gap.
