Episode 20: Project Management's Impact on Non-Profits [Kayla Quijas from PSPMV]

Hosted by Carmen Leung and Kayla Quijas, Everything Non-Profit is a conversation grounded in the real, often messy, journey from being a contributor within an organization to steering its direction. As co-founders of Puget Sound Project Management Volunteers (PMVPS), they bring a unique dual perspective: they run a non-profit themselves, dedicated to linking skilled project managers with mission-driven organizations, and they've navigated the trenches of operational work. This podcast digs into that full spectrum. You'll hear candid discussions about the tactical challenges of day-to-day operations, the strategic shifts required for leadership, and the human elements of managing teams and missions on a tight budget. It’s not about theory, but applied wisdom. Each episode draws from Carmen and Kayla's direct experience building PMVPS and their work with various organizations, offering listeners a relatable and practical look at what it truly takes to make an impact. Tune in for a genuine resource that feels more like a conversation with seasoned colleagues than a lecture, perfect for anyone invested in the business of doing good.
