Speaking out about unjust conditions – to friends, family, on social media – is the American way. Pointing to unfair treatment of individuals, groups, communities, or the environment is an important part of being civically engaged. As a nonprofit leader there is an added obligation to not just speak out, but to advocate and effect change in policy and systems.
Those who know me well know that I’m a bit of a political junky, especially around the presidential election season that rolls around every four years. During these days between political conventions and the November 8th election I find myself glued to the debates like they are playoff games before the Super Bowl. I stay up late at night flipping between CNN and Fox News to hear the spin on the sometimes silly and sometimes stupid news about the latest tweets, taxes and emails - noise that distracts us from what matters most.
As the kids go back to school and college, we know it’s a sign that fall is approaching with welcome cooler temperatures. Labor Day weekend is next weekend and I don’t know where the summer went. Every year seems to zip by faster and faster and only the seasons remind us of what happens next…..chili, pumpkin flavored everything, football and apple picking.
In our fast-paced, always connected world, it is refreshing to engage in an old-fashioned experience every once in a while.
Whether you’re ready to expand your organizational capacity and move forward with purpose, or just want to talk shop, we’d love to connect.
