I think I might have stepped out of line a bit lately. In our role as strategic advisors with Armstrong McGuire, we get the honor of partnering with a variety of nonprofits, staff, board members, and volunteers as they navigate change, set vision, or strive to build capacity. Sometimes they are trying to do all three at once. It’s a lot!
We’re living and working through some of the most difficult times of our lives. Not only are we individually and collectively moving through the complexities of a global pandemic, we are also in a moment of great decision about where we’ll go from here. We are standing at the intersection of several choices, including going back to what we know (or at least trying to) and choosing to transform an entire culture. Many of us are eagerly awaiting the return of a pre-pandemic life, while others of us have fully accepted that things will never be the same.
I love hiking in Umstead State Park early in the morning. Trees shade the path, and the recent rains turn the leaves and undergrowth a deep green. Woodpeckers drum in the distance, birds sing, and squirrels scurry among the branches. The trail I follow winds along a gurgling creek and a slight breeze blows overhead. Dragonflies and butterflies float above the water. I am alone and tension evaporates. I stop, look around, take a deep breath, and relax in the peace and solitude.
With the continued strategic expansion of our service to North Carolina’s and the region’s nonprofit and philanthropic sectors, Armstrong McGuire & Associates is excited to welcome organizational leadership expert Margaret A. Brunson to our team.
Whether you’re ready to expand your organizational capacity and move forward with purpose, or just want to talk shop, we’d love to connect.
