CHRIS: Think First, Honesty Goes A Long Way

Building Trust and Brand

Telling a lie is not funny. Taking what is not yours is not funny. If you take someone’s money they would be looking for it. I know if I think I will not get into trouble.

From Papa:

Honesty builds trust. Trust builds respect. Respect builds brand. Brand respresents your nonprofit.  Your Brand is the most important aspect of marketing.  So think before you act.  It just may keep your nonprofit out of trouble.

Kennedy: A Role Model and A Beacon of Hope for Many

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Example of A True Leader

MY SIX YEAR OLD DID THIS DRAWING OF HIS WISH TO VISIT SENATOR KENNEDY AND MAKE HIM FEEL GOOD; HE CONSIDERS SENATOR KENNEDY HIS FRIEND.

I was sadden by the news announcement today of Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts having brain cancer. Today my family prays for him and his family. No matter whether we are privileged to have Senator Kennedy for one year or many years in the future he will always be with many generations to come. He lead in government and he lead in his private life. There are two examples of his giving back to the community that I wish to highlight. When government would not respond the Kennedy’s created Citizens oil to provide fuel to low income families. They created Best Buddies dedicated to providing opportunities for one-to-one friendships and integrated employment to those with disabilities.

I wish to highlight Kennedy as an example to show how much of a difference one person can make. Which organizations or individuals are ready to make CHANGE AND BECOME THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS?

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR A NONPROFITS BOARD AND MANAGEMENT TO INCLUDE SUCCESSION PLANNING AS A COMPONENT OF THEIR STRATEGIC PLAN.
