Latest news, alerts, and events.
Well, it’s 6:00 PM EDT, the time recognized by some as the “end of days.” I am flying somewhere over Idaho or Wyoming on the way to D.C. and if anything is ending below, I can’t tell. I will assume all is well and take comfort that whenever that day comes, I will have done all I can to help others and live my life to the fullest, so will not worry.
And since I plan to be here next week, Mike Walsh, Laurie Wolf and I are on our way to Washington to attend the annual gathering of the National Council of Nonprofits. We will participate in two days of sharing with our state association peers. On Wednesday, May 25, we will visit the Hill and see the delegation. One of our objectives will be to present the ISER report to key staff from each office. They will be joined by the Governor’s staff leader in D.C.
That brings me to my smidgen of insight (or request) today. Foraker is engaged in public policy. Our board has adopted the goal of our becoming more and more involved with public policy issues. Our guide for action includes any issue having a broad impact on the entire sector, and sometimes issues affecting a sub-sector that could one day impact all.
Since we will see the delegation in a couple of days, please blog, or email me — or Mike or Laurie — about an issue you want us to address. If it fits in the guidelines and we have the opportunity, we will deliver it on your behalf.
