Can you fundraise during or after a disaster that doesn’t affect you? The answer, I believe, is yes, with humility. I live in North Carolina, about two hours away from some absolutely horrible devastation in the western part of the state due to massive mudslides and flash floods from Hurricane Helene. Most of us think about hurricanes as a lowland coastal disaster.

In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

I’ve known many situations where an executive director needed support from their board and didn’t get it, because the board members were essentially strangers to the ED and to the work. So, I recommend that you make sure to build time into each board meeting to show off the successes of your organization’s work.

The series of waves that the pandemic began have rippled through the Great Resignation, quiet quitting, the Great Regret, and other eloquent phrases that boil down to the same thing: people aren’t engaged at work or enabled to perform at their best. The truth is that engagement and enablement is more important than ever, but how we do it is the critical differentiator for many organizations.
