However, this case study will be different. We have a manager that will share a situation that she is familiar with in her nonprofit organization. You will have to work with your group on a strategic management plan to help her manage the situation. Watch the video “Providing a Strategic Management Plan Challenge,” which will introduce Dr. Destinee Prete and the nonprofit organization she cofounded, We2AreVets 501c3.
During the video, she will state the mission and the top three goals of the nonprofit organization for the upcoming year. She will discuss the top two challenges she faces as a nonprofit owner and challenge the students to help her create a strategic management plan that will help her in her efforts in (1) securing funding for We2AreVets 501c3 and (2) hiring one to three people with low salaries.

Welcome Principles of Management students, I’m Dr. Destinee Prete. Some of you might recognize me from another video or two that you will see if you haven’t already seen throughout your course. Just a little background information about myself. I have my doctorate, my PhD in IO psychology, which is industrial organizational psychology. I am a IO practitioner by day, what does that mean? I help DOD clients and private clients create certifications and assessments. That’s what I do during the day. I have a lot of experience in managerial positions.
My previous job, I actually managed a team of over 150 plus, and I also am a veteran, a woman veteran, and so in the military, I was an army officer in the medical services field. Through my dissertation coursework when I was going through my doctorate program, I decided to do my dissertation topic on the Post-911, Women Veteran Transition Experience from the military to civilian workforce. The reason I decided to do that was because when I got out of the military, I had a lot of personal experiences that shaped who I became as a employee and as a manager, but also because during the time after I got out of the military, I started to realize that the military was a sense of identity.
It almost became who I was, and so when I got out, I felt lost. I had a whole range of feelings and thoughts about this transition experience, and so through my doctoral program, I was able to measure all of the things that I loved and that I cared about, and that I wanted to research together, and that’s why I decided to study this population. Also, during that time, I was inspired to create a non-profit organization. My non-profit organization is called, We Too are Vets 501c3, it is an established non-profit. You can look it up. Myself and my father co-founded this organization, and so I wanted to read the mission statement to you all so that you all understand what this organization is about.
We too are Vets 501c3 its purpose is to empower, honor and recognize women veterans as they enter and reintegrate into the civilian workforce. Through our efforts, we will promote the merits of these female service members to civilian employers, to achieve our mission, We too are Vets will collaborate with coaches, mentors, leaders, organizations, and universities to aid in the successful efforts of women veterans re-entering the civilian workforce through inclusion and empowerment opportunities. I know that was a whole lot of information for you. But what I want you to gather from that is that every single service member, man, woman will become a veteran.
We call that service member to veteran a transition and you’ll hear that throughout if you’re connected to this community in any way, you’ll hear call the military transition or the military to civilian transition. During this transition, people go through a lot of different experiences. Every experience is individual wise to that person, and so some it might be exciting and easy, and for some, it might be difficult and sad, and they mourn almost that loss of camaraderie and that loss of sense of purpose that the military tends to have along with it. Through that, a lot of times there are challenges in finding employment and then finding that purpose when you get out of the military, and particularly, for women, those challenges and the experiences that they have are very different.
That is why the organization exists to help not only women veterans leave with a sense of empowerment and to be honored and recognized for their service, but also to promote these skill sets and these merits to employers and help employers really understand what it means to hire a veteran in their organization, the value of a veteran is what we call that. If any of you have done any service in the military, thank you for your service, I truly do appreciate that, and so many others out there and there are organizations out there to help you along the way. If you want to reach out, please do, one way or the other, I would love to hear from any and all of you, particularly, because what you are about to do in this course is create a strategic management plan for this non-profit organization and helping you with my goals. The goals for the next year are that, officially we need to launch this organization. My dad and I have been sitting on this for a few years, for a number of reasons. We all know what’s happened over the last few years, it’s been challenging, but in the non-profit community, it has been quite a challenge for so many reasons.
The pandemic left funding a little bit dry for some communities, and with the non-profit organizations, although they’re called non-profit, it still requires money to do things and to create things and products and situations for people. The non-profit community, the way that you get money is that you have to ask for it and you have to almost compete for it. A lot of organizations out there are competing for funding through foundations or through stakeholders, and so it’s a very competitive market, some people might even call it cutthroat market. As somebody as a collaborator myself who has been working alongside many non-profit organizations, it is definitely a challenge, I can tell you. I have watched it, I have witnessed it, and so our main goal is to compete for funding and to gain funding.
The reason we want to gain funding is for a lot of things, everything cost money. Even for me to do this Zoom call right now or this meeting on the computer, it costs money to have a Zoom account. It costs money for me to be able to create social media accounts for the organizations. It costs money to create content. It costs money to create a website, and so we need to find a way to supply that need. I’m going to ask of all of you students to help me create some strategic management plan that will allow me to gain the funding, but you also use that funding to potentially hire somebody, the biggest goal I have is to hire one to three people full time, so help me with this mission. However, non-profit organizations once again are their own unique entities, and it’s important to consider that when you are hiring people for non-profit organizations you often have to hire them at a lower salary.
My organization, though founded in Florida, myself, my father, and two of our board members actually live here in the Washington, DC area. Florida versus Washington, DC area, standard of living costs are very different. If I want to hire somebody with a low salary, sometimes you have to be creative in the way that you offer that position to them. Another part of my goals and another part that you can consider in your strategic management plan is how we are going to secure funding for We too are Vets 501c3, and how might we hire one to three people with low salaries. Once again, these are, I guess challenges that most non-profit organizations are going to have, no matter what organization that you are. It’s important to think about this from a overarching, non-profit problem. You can use resources out there that are readily available on the Internet and even on your library, about non-profit organizations and how they do this to get creative in your plan. If you have any questions, I am always free to answer them to lean on.
You can lean on me to ask for advice about this. My name is Destinee Prete, and you can find me on LinkedIn. I will make sure that my contact information is available to you throughout this course because the challenge that I’m sharing with you is actually a real challenge. While we are in the initial launch stages of this non-profit organization, we have these goals over the next two years that we would love to be able to hit. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing what you come up with. Thanks students.
