While we didn't try our skills on the uneven bars with Simone Biles at the Olympics this summer, we found other ways to enjoy the longer days and warm weather. 🌞 Mead & Hunter-s cheered for their local baseball teams, and even threw out the first pitch at a Green Bay Rockers game. ⚾ We spruced up our workspace with indoor foliage. 🪴 We did our part in taking care of others by volunteering at Habitat for Humanity in Kenosha and School Supplies for Kids in Madison. 🫂 Click to see more of our summer fun! ➡️

🌲 What I learned Volunteering at Scout Camp 🌲 During the past weekend, I had the opportunity to reflect on my summer. I volunteered as an adult leader at Camp Royaneh, a scout camp nestled deep in the Redwoods. At the closing campfire, the adult leaders were recognized. 🔥 But I took away something even more meaningful. A couple of years ago, one of my scouts twisted his ankle on the first day! 🙀 He was slower than everyone else. Discomfort and frustration! 🙁 Faced with navigating the large camp on crutches, he considered asking his parents to pick him up. 🤕 But fellow scouts, adults, and camp staff rallied around him, offering him support and encouragement. “We see and recognize your struggle – keep going!” Ultimately, he chose to stay and to push through, ending the week feeling very proud. He had grown through overcoming adversity. 🙌 Can you remember something similar at work? When faced with an unexpected setback, a new team member might decide that "this is not for me" OR that "I am going to get through this." Peers and leaders – we all can have significant influence. But it takes effort, just like slowing down to accompany a fellow scout on crutches. #Perseverance #Teamwork #YouthDevelopment #GrowthMindset

Veteran Housing Corp says that IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF A PERMANENT AND LASTING SOLUTION TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS AND HOMELESSNESS, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS BROKEN AND NOT WORKING FOR AMERICAN TAXPAYERS Veteran Housing Corp would ask every TAXPAYER to demand and get answers from their elected and appointed government officials the below questions as they relate to any affordable, workforce, or supportive housing project in your community! 1. How much local, state, and federal funding, tax credits, or other government benefits or incentives did the project receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project? Is the affordability period permanent and in perpetuity? 3. What guarantees exist have your local, state, and federal government officials obtained in writing that rents will not go up or that tenants will not be displaced or evicted after the "affordability period expires? Every local, state, and federal housing authority and affordable or workforce housing stakeholder should adopt the State of Vermont's "permanent affordability" policy as a model for all future government funded or subsidized housing projects or developments, no exceptions! https://lnkd.in/eFEUC8c8 Additionally, local, state and federal housing agencies should look to the Helsinki, FINLAND MODEL of ending homelessness by providing affordable housing for all 'It’s a miracle': Helsinki's radical solution to homelessness https://lnkd.in/er9HZSQU Even the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development AGREES THAT adopting FINLAND'S MODEL OF ERADICATING HOMELESSNESS may be of great value to resolving the affordable housing and homelessness crises in America https://lnkd.in/gkSZWYRU

Been thinking about the term “vision” this week as it relates to the strategic planning work I do with nonprofit clients. And what comes to mind for me (at least this week) is a rowing crew. Sharing a common purpose is inspiring and uplifting, but equally crucial is having a shared direction. Consider our nonprofit communities - all driven by the same mission to create positive change. However, achieving goals requires more than shared passion. We must also align on a shared destination, (or vision) for the not-so-distant future that can align our efforts and strategies, ensuring everyone is moving in the same direction. Just like a rowing crew that moves swiftly when every member is in sync, an organization thrives when every team member, volunteer, and supporter work together toward a common point on the horizon. Getting your community to row together, not just with a shared purpose but with a shared destination will help you actualize the future you want to create.
