Greetings!
This past month, California celebrated Women’s History Month. Last month reminded me of the various women pioneers in the health field, and how they have opened doors for many in the healthcare workforce today. Thank you to all the women who provide needed behavioral health services to clients across our state, and to those women leaders who serve as advocates on behalf of organizations, providers, clients, and their family members to the state Legislature.
Since beginning with CBHA in January, I am proud to report that much has been accomplished. The policy staff have been hitting the pavement at the state Capitol informing legislators and key staff about our Workforce, Education and Training (WET) budget proposal (
letter
). To date, we have secured 23 co-signatures from various organizations in support of this proposal. A big thank you to the following organizations for signing onto our letter:...

Thursday, April 26th
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM (PDT)
With the national unemployment rate steadily declining, and a substantial increase in expectations for competitive benefits and salaries, nonprofits are definitely feeling the squeeze—especially when competing against for-profit organizations for key staff members.
How can we overcome these challenges when funding support is steady at best, and often decreasing?
This
webinar will teach you how to:
• Attract stronger candidates and enhance their loyalty to your nonprofit
• Establish a path to compensation growth for valued front-line staff members
• Gain board support for increased compensation and investment in employee development
Join Mary Hughes, Senior Consultant at the Georgia Center for Nonprofits, to develop a framework for effective recruitment and retention strategies in the current workforce environment.
