🚀 📣 I’m excited to announce the launch of Orange Oak Nonprofit Management. 🚀 📣 A year ago I had the opportunity to journey out and “do my own thing” through some contract work in a variety of areas/sectors. I never knew quite where it would lead or where I’d find my spark. Turns out, I can’t shake it, I’m a “nonprofit guy”. Nonprofit work is the root of my education and career. Over the years I’ve latched on to two questions to always ask: “What’s the right thing to do?” and “Does it fulfill a need?” Yes and yes. Orange Oak serves nonprofits, foundations, and associations throughout Tennessee and beyond with services including executive searches, management solutions, and governance advisory - creating stability for nonprofits during transition. A group of affiliated consulting partners has sprouted and is growing under the Orange Oak canopy. I’m so proud I’ll be able to share their vast expertise to the nonprofit community. So many in my network on LinkedIn are dedicated to their community through volunteering and board service. If you work with or for an organization going through transition that could benefit from Orange Oak services,  give me a shout! Thanks to all past and current clients, colleagues, and friends ﹘ Jocelyn Harms, Matt Deeb, CFA, CFP®, Elizabeth Carroll, Falon Veit Scott, CMM, MBA, Eric Thrailkill, Nicole Provonchee, MBA, Cara Ince, Apryl Childs-Potter, Mark Richard, Megan O'Roark, Rebekah Carroll, Niketa Hailey-Hill, Mike Jobe, Ryan Brebner (so many more) - whether simple conversations or impactful work together, you’ve played a part in the journey.  Here we go! #nonprofitsector #nonprofitleadership #nonprofitmanagement #nashvillenonprofits #nonprofitsintennessee #nonprofitexecutivesearch #nonprofitgovernance 

Service days are a great way for organizations to give back. But to have the most impact, days of service must address the real needs of communities.

Plus, learn five key questions to consider when planning your own service days. spr.ly/7676

**GIA READER** Moving the Needle on Systems Change in Arts Philanthropy Lisa Payne Simon, MPH, Stratton Lloyd, MBA, and Karen Ristuben "Providing leadership and support for systems change in the arts and culture that also tackles pressing community needs is one way for place-based foundations to become changemakers and differentiate themselves among donors," said Simon, Lloyd, and Ristuben. "Many foundations ask, how can such complex work be accomplished? How do we focus efforts and resources? One strategy is the application of systems change frameworks to drive local action intentionally. Frameworks provide place-based arts and culture funders (and funders working in other topic areas) with a compass to navigate the waters of systems change, moving from framework to practice and, ultimately, to impact."
