Nonprofit Hiring and Retention Practices and the Representation of Women of Color in Museum Leadership

<p>Abstract</p> <p>This museum studies capstone project centers on the nonprofit hiring and retention practices with an emphasis on the lack of representation of women of color in museum leadership. The literature review encompasses peer-reviewed literature on nonprofit leadership and management and peer-reviewed literature from the museum field as well as secondary sources that encapsulate anecdotal sentiments on this issue. I propose a comprehensive recruiting program that would take place in museums in Oakland, California as one step to attracting people of color, and specifically women, to the museum field.</p> <p>Keywords: Diversity, Gender, Hiring, Human Resource Management, HRM, Inclusion, Minority, Museum Leadership, Museum Studies, Nonprofit, People of Color, POC, Race, Racial Disparities, Recruitment, Retention, Women of Color, WOC </p>
