GIVING it OUR ALL

Nonprofit Empowerment Summit | June 3, 2014 | Evaluation Summary

A Nonprofit Executive Empowerment Summit, designed to strengthen organizations and collaborations in the nonprofit world, was held in Washington DC.   School & Main’s Executive Director, Andy Beck, was a featured speaker.  The session broke new ground on non profit collaboration and participants were very positive in their evaluations. A sample follows...

I was impressed with Andy’s presence on the panel and his recognition of the importance of knowing whose responsibility (or job) it is to collaborate, and the problems with holding people responsible.  I copied down his five points, and the one that resonated most with me was "self-interest is not a dirty word."  Job well done!
