Paul Schmitz Elected Chairman of Nonprofit Sector Workforce Coalition

Milwaukee—Paul Schmitz, Chief Executive Officer of Public Allies, was named the first Chairman of the Nonprofit Sector Workforce Coalition (NSWC) Board of Directors, effective October 21, 2007.

NSWC is comprised of more than 60 nonprofit organizations, associations, foundations and academic centers focused on addressing issues facing the nonprofit sector workforce. This national coalition, which includes well known organizations such as YMCA, United Way, and the National Urban League, seeks to enter the nonprofit sector into the highly anticipated talent war.

“The nonprofit sector employs 14 million people - more than the construction and utility industries combined - and we deliver some of the most urgent and important services that our communities need. The sector is growing more than twice as fast as the business sector,” said Paul Schmitz, CEO of Public Allies, Inc. “We need the best talent in order to better lead and serve our communities.”

The coalition's most recent achievement was a student loan bill that passed through Congress with the approval of President George W. Bush. The bill will forgive student loans among nonprofit employees who stay in the sector for 10 years.

Patrick Corvington, Senior Associate, The Annie E. Casey Foundation
