Our candidate has been a fund raiser and has demonstrated that he knows how to bring money and talent into a non-profit organization.Three observations: First, our candidate has not asked for this job. But that's why the NPCA has set up an Executive Search Committee - to first identify the qualities needed to lead the organization, then to identify the person who best meets those qualifications and then to get him or her to accept the job. The way you will get our candidate to accept this job is to present it as a challenge and as an opportunity to create a better organization.
