Juneau, AK
Yesterday’s rain has given way to today’s sun. Three cruise ships are in port so the season has begun. Nine Southeast communities are engaged in their first Economic Summit. The energy in the room and the renewed commitment to work collaboratively should indicate progress for their region and their communities.
Before coming to Juneau, Chris Kowalczewski (Pre-Development) , Raj Shankar (Shared Financial Services) and I attended a conference in Los Angeles coordinated by the Tides Foundation. The focus of the conference was shared space and shared services.
I also met with the Weingart Foundation — they’re interested in increasing the capacity of nonprofits in LA.
The smidgen of insight this time is on how lucky we are to have such progressive and strategic funders who support nonprofits in Alaska and let us serve as models for the rest of the country on how to do those things well.
