As we turned our clocks forward this past weekend, I realized how much I love this time of year as it’s lighter later and everything comes into bloom. Things are new, young and exciting. I grew up in a household where we took spring cleaning seriously which meant thoroughly cleaning every bit of the house inside and out from windows to curtains, to the attic, taking old clothes to Goodwill and preparing for a garage sale.
I’ve been thinking about mission statements lately and it’s going to get worse before it’s all over. I’m usually on the consultant side of the process when working with nonprofit clients, which is very interesting.
Setting goals and benchmarking success through outcomes and impact continues to be a hot topic of conversation for nonprofits and their funders. Both seem to be in a quandary on how to measure success and impact.
I know, I know. I’m still writing 2014 on my checks, too (yes, I still write checks; who doesn’t?) So what’s this about 2016? I’m suggesting that we keep next January in mind as we begin our work this year, that’s all.
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.
