Let's Talk Nonprofits | BizLynks TV Network

Let’s Talk Nonprofits is an online television program which profiles national and international nonprofit thought leaders, sector experts, nonprofit organization leaders, and philanthropists in an open forum with the single purpose to exchange industry best practices.

As Founders or Executive Directors we hold our visions so close that we often become fearful at the very thought of someone attempting to fill our shoes and take over our "babies." However, we don’t realize that we stifle our organization's growth when we don’t build a team. Want to know the quickest way to fulfill your nonprofit's vision? HIRE, TRAIN, TRUST AND DELEGATE. Our guest today is YouthNique's Nonprofit Management's new nonprofit strategist lead, Alyana Sipple.
