Help us honor our 2024 Legacy of Caring Honoree, Jim Rudicil! Jim was recognized for his lifetime service to his community through United Way of the Lakeshore. His passion for diversity, equity, and inclusion for Muskegon County has aided in the development of a lending library for individuals interested in learning more about dismantling systemic racism in our community. It is an honor for him to receive this award and feels strongly that he is lucky to live in this diverse community. He is an advocate for giving however and whenever you can, whether it be time, dollars, or ideas.

When clergy apply for roles in the nonprofit sector, they bring not only their deep commitment to mission-driven work but also a wealth of administrative experience that often goes unrecognized. As nonprofit board members, it's important to look beyond the surface of clergy candidates and consider the wide range of skills they have developed—particularly in managing complex administrative tasks alongside their more visible roles as spiritual and community leaders. Here’s what nonprofit board members should understand about clergy applying for leadership positions: https://lnkd.in/g-BAbyw3

Erie, Pennsylvania-Session 6 of the ARC Leadership Institute was incredible. Building Community Capacity was our session focus. Imagine for a moment your town with no social infrastructure. No schools, no churches, no recreation, no parks, no grocery stores, no restaurants, no Main Street or small businesses, no museums, no libraries, no places where people gather socially and interact. Would you want to live there without those things? Now think, are you a community member that makes investments in those entities whether through spending your hard earned money there, collaboration in community service, volunteerism, philanthropy, or just being a good, active citizen? Building and Sustaining Community Capacity is HARD WORK! Thankful for another week of collaborating with world changers across the 13 Appalachian States. These people are amazing human beings, doing amazing work in their states. Though our year together is coming to an end, the impact this group will make across Appalachia is just beginning!
