The Joy of Generous Community By Donna Mace

Show Me The Money By Mark Watson
Have you ever felt like raising support was all about the money? When my wife and I were first married we jumped right into raising our own support. And to be honest, at times, I hated it. I hated it because as we struggled to get by on what we could raise, I felt like…
The Board’s Role in Evaluating the CEO By John Pearson
It’s time to demystify the board’s role in evaluating the CEO. When I ask board members or CEOs about the annual performance review of the CEO, the reluctant responses run the continuum: “We did a review three years ago, but it didn’t go well.” “The Board Policies Manual says the Governance Committee should conduct the…

Detroit’s recent bankruptcy filing placed the issues many declining municipalities face directly in the public eye. Detroit’s experience is a large-scale and extreme example of what many cities, towns, and other municipalities face as their population and revenues begin to decline: The need to increase revenues and reduce city services to maintain fiscal health The breakdown…
The Aligned Board By Larry Johnston
The notion of alignment has shaped my thinking about nonprofit organizations for many years. While somewhat intuitive at one level, intuition alone isn’t enough to align the management of nonprofits. It would be best to have precise, practical tools and no small amount of wisdom, sheer grit, chutzpah, and dogged persistence. What continues to astonish…
