In late 2020, Maria Judice and the other members of the senior leadership team of Code Tenderloin (CT), a Black-led, nonprofit community support organization based in San Francisco, were wrestling with several challenges, especially around hiring to expand the senior leadership team and restocking the organization’s advisory board, which had been sorely depleted following the COVID-19 pandemic. Judice knew that CT was at an inflection point: the decisions they made about hiring and how to reshape their service offerings to a troubled and varied clientele would determine CT’s path for years to come.

Learning Objectives

After working through the case and assignment questions, students should be able to do the following:
  • Appreciate the challenges involved in servicing the urgent and varied needs of heterogeneous populations of residents in struggling inner-city neighbourhoods
  • Appreciate the role and impact of advisory boards in nonprofit organizations
  • Understand the unique hiring challenges faced by cash-strapped nonprofits that seek leaders with both professional managerial expertise and lived experience
  • Analyze the trade-off between allocating managerial attention to managing day-to-day operational challenges and pivoting the organization to different strategic priorities as socioeconomic conditions change.
