A smaller NPO will give you more flexibility and more opportunities to be a part of the decision making process.

Big or small, in the non-profit field it is more important to gravitate toward a cause you genuinely believe in. Non-profit work can be grueling sometimes, and is and should always be a labor of love.

Sounds VERY challenging. How do you market a non-profit that's successful enough to have 120-employees? Where do you focus your efforts?
