"It’s not about keeping up with all the work. It’s about advancing the cause with the most effective work." Asking why should be a constant practice for anyone in any work, let alone the lean and clean streets of nonprofit work. https://lnkd.in/evDyMkd5 "Why are we doing [insert practice, campaign, system, event here]?"

According to the website Days of the Year, today is National Insurance Awareness Day. While it may be a made-up “holiday,” understanding insurance is an important aspect of financial literacy. Our Literacy & Learning Success Centers help our students build basic literacy and the skills necessary for personal financial management, including budgeting, taxes, insurance, and investing. And because educated citizens work, pay taxes and give back to their communities, when you support adult education programs, you are making a sound investment in your community. Invest in your community by giving to the Literacy Council of Lancaster-Lebanon at literacysuccess.org #literacysuccess #adulteducation #literacy #financialliteracy #donate #LancasterPA #LebanonPA

🌟 Read about my work with the Office for Students! I wrote a blog for the OfS about my experience of being a member of their Disability in Higher Education Advisory Panel. One of the things I love the most about working in policy is having the opportunity to help others see the bigger picture, and the panel is doing just that. The HE sector has a long way to go to be truly inclusive for disabled students - as a panel we have been looking at how the necessary improvements might be achieved. #UnlockingEducation #InclusiveEducation
To coincide with the next Disability in Higher Education Panel meeting, panel member Lucy Merritt has written a blog reflecting on the discussions of the panel so far, and on her role as Education Policy Manager at Thomas Pocklington Trust, a charity dedicated to improving the lives of blind or partially sighted people.
