Many of us working to strengthen civil rights see recent court rulings overturning affirmative action and campaigns to limit diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and ban books as undermining this country’s vision of pluralism and equal opportunity. In this climate, advocates are working to sustain movements that build on the social progress achieved by previous generations.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

One of the joys of our democracy is the barrage of emails, texts, calls, and ads to engage us in elections. On one hand, it’s obnoxious. On the other hand, the alternative is worse: no one caring about my vote, opinion, or money. And so it goes. Anyone affiliated with nonprofit work is probably familiar with one of the cardinal rules: no electioneering.

More than grants, donations, or volunteer hours, public trust is the currency of the nonprofit sector.
