Rod and his team are the best. Fast, efficient and a wealth of knowledge in the business. I loved voicing this one, a bit of narration, different that a commercial really and still different from eLearning. The closest I’ve gotten to a “documentary”. #FortWayne #NonProfit #Narration

Chasing Success: the Challenge for Nonprofits calls for improved collaboration among nonprofit programs and for strengthened community systems, including more cooperative thinking and action not only among those funding and implementing programs but also among those setting policy, conducting research and engaging communities as partners in change. Today, far too often, nonprofit programs compete for resources and visibility--- without a focus on cooperation and the funding to sustain collaboration, there could be good programs but not the centrality to take what has been learned, scale the initiative and serve more people---with quality and validated outcomes. Interdisciplinary partners could include, for example, business schools, community leaders, political scientists and housing experts based upon the problem that the organization is trying to solve--the content of the work will provide guidance.

From filling gaps in board expertise to connecting with new communities, advisory councils play a valuable role in nonprofit organizations. In order for these councils to live up to their potential, we recommend following these nine keys to success:

Love this update. Please take advisory councils seriously. They are not: 💀 The final resting place of board members who should otherwise step down 😣 A "pipeline" for "young" "diverse" "wealthy" or other profile of a person that you should probably work to better clarify and just recruit and retain on the board. 💸 An "easy" way to fundraise. Advisory councils MAY do some of the above, but whatever your intention with creating one, it requires time, talent, and resources. Treat it accordingly.
