Can the gig economy be good? Rahil Rangwala at Accion thinks so — and offers solutions to some of the gig economy’s pain points for workers in this new article: https://lnkd.in/eVPh4-nZ “Startup founders should feel a sense of responsibility toward workers as they create and roll out gig economy platforms to the developing world. They can help ensure that problems that exist in the brick-and-mortar economy do not extend into the tech-enabled gig economy—and they must take this on. Doing so won’t just help workers; it will give gig platforms a better chance at success.” #workers #gigeconomy #gigworkers #equity

SSIR’s Fall ’24 Issue will be online next week! The magazine doesn’t usually have a theme, but this issue, one emerged: Education. Don’t miss two compelling cover stories that chart a path for progress in public education: One details the 20-year US effort to boost graduation rates and offers an example of transcending partisanship to solve social problems. The other articulates a civic-minded vision of education as a public good that serves democracy. Plus: Viewpoint articles on apprenticeship programs as an alternative pathway to college and an argument for deliberation, not debate, as a model of free speech in higher education. Must-reads in this issue: A case study highlighting the first private pay-for-success program in the South Korean impact ecosystem; guidance for business leaders looking to join climate alliances—and promising innovations in storytelling for Palestinian justice; crowdfunding education; AI medical diagnostics in Africa; closing the racial diversity gap in medicine, and more. This issue also includes two special supplements from PolicyLink (A Revolution of the Soul) and the Institute of Philanthropy (The Best of SSIR: Impactful Philanthropy in the Real World). ⏳There’s still time to subscribe and get your very own print copy of this stellar issue! https://lnkd.in/eTRxhPWe ✍ Sign up for our newsletter for updates on the new issue, new online stories, and more: https://lnkd.in/gYk49K9z ⏩ Share this post with someone you think will want to read the new issue of SSIR!

It was a great privilege to lead GLAAD for a decade. Recently the organization has come under a great deal of scrutiny with a front page NYTimes expose about what was reported as lavish spending by the CEO. I believe that as a respected nonprofit leadership and governance expert, I could offer nonprofit leaders a number of important lessons the scandal unearths. Here are my reflections and the NYT piece is linked in the article.

"When I do crisis management work, I encourage boards and staff to develop a list of the most devastating headlines that could appear on the front page of their local paper and to develop both a proactive and a reactive plan to navigate the fallout. The danger is real. Nonprofits for whom advocacy is a core strategy—for whom it is their business to speak truth to power—often experience backlash in the form of media exposés. Being ready for that kind of targeting should be a central responsibility of #leadership." In this new article, nonprofit leadership expert and former GLAAD CEO Joan Garry, responds to recent media coverage questioning the organization's spending. What can other #nonprofit leaders learn from the story? Garry unpacks four key rules for crisis readiness: 📰 The media loves scandals... 👀 All decisions have optics. Optics matter. ⛓ Building leadership is about more than one person. 🏢 Board members must understand their role, and be ready to play it.

Chief Executive Officer @ The Jed Foundation | Youth Mental Health and Suicide Prevention. Views expressed are mine.
Thank you Stanford Social Innovation Review for this case study on The Jed Foundation.
After their son’s suicide, Donna and Phil Satow founded the The Jed Foundation (JED) with a vision for promulgating a framework for suicide prevention on college campuses. For the past two decades, JED has led the fight to address the mental health crisis among American youth. Its story highlights the importance of confronting the cultural causes of the mental health crisis through systems change: “For the foundation, complete success requires shifting the perspectives and practices of students, staff, faculty, and administrators campus by campus, as well as transforming the systems in which they are embedded.” Learn more about the Air Force origins of the foundation’s comprehensive model for mental health, efforts to connect with students though MTV campaigns, and how it continues to innovate.
