Have you read this piece by Accordant CEO Betsy Chapin Taylor, FAHP, on the importance of CEO engagement in advancing philanthropy? As a robust philanthropy program has become a lever to health care organization success, proactive CEO engagement to support the philanthropy program is no longer optional. The CEO serves as a linchpin—a visionary leader whose unwavering commitment and influence are instrumental in raising charitable funds. As the face of the organization, the CEO embodies its mission, values and aspirations, commanding respect and trust from donors and stakeholders alike. The CEO has been entrusted with the management and financial health of the organization, so it naturally follows he or she would be obligated to take on a meaningful and proactive role in areas where the CEO is uniquely positioned to add value.

This week's eNews features a new piece from Accordant's Sarah Burdi, CFRE.
