So that's good, but I wish we didn't see so much of that. Well, they don't want to do busy work, they don't have time to do busy work. They want to do something which needs doing. If they are professional people or have business background, they would much rather do that, rather than stuff envelopes. Like people who work in retail love to work in thrift shops.
People are pickier now, which is good.
They are using their skills better. Nonprofits can't afford to hire many people, but when everybody pitches in, work gets done, and you find a lot of cooperation between board members and staff members. We had a small meeting yesterday, and we had this big mailing to get out. Two or three of our officers stayed after the meeting and helped us do it. Officers and board members of nonprofits sometimes are not considered volunteers.
