"From Passion to Performance: Hiring and Keeping High Performers in Mission-Driven Organizations"

Christian nonprofits work hard to attract talented people who could earn more elsewhere, then often struggle to keep them or find the right fits. This session looks at why. At the center is the Mission-Proximity Model, a way of understanding value fit not as a yes-or-no test at hiring but as something that develops over time and varies by how close a role sits to the mission. You will leave with a practical lens for recruiting, onboarding, and retention that treats fit as something you build, not just something you screen for.
