Purpose of Presentation: IT staffing problems are usually blamed on the difficult personalities and unrealistic expectations of IT workers, but the problems are generally more structural than personal. The purpose of this presentation is to show, via statistics, slides and stories, why IT staffing is such an area of confusion and frustration for nonprofits, as well as to suggest creative ways to make IT staffing more effective and productive. People will come to this presentation wondering how they can find the right person to meet their technical needs. They should leave this presentation thinking about how to structure a team of (usually part-time) staff to work together to meet those needs, and only when the structure has been developed, think about finding the right people to fill it.
