A Letter from Laurie

LETTERS TO LEIGH

Stephanie and Leigh – It’s time for some gratitude.  Last summer, I joined Leigh’s regular Non Profit Networking Zoom calls.  And through those calls, I met Stephanie.  And through Stephanie I got involved with Budget Buddies.

Last July I started as a financial literacy coach. I participated in two different sessions and I found it so fulfilling.  Today I got a call and on Monday I’ll be facilitating a 13 week program as a program lead.  A different role that will challenge me in new ways.

I’m grateful to have found Leigh in the spring of 2019 – that is when I joined my first in person Non Profit Networking group high above the ground near the State House building.  I remember meeting John Huycke at that morning event as well. I thought I was so out of place as a sector switcher.  What a welcoming group indeed.

Thank you again for all the networking, introductions, and encouragement.
Best,
Laurie Calvert

Introducing: From Bored 2 Board (FB2B)

From Bored 2 Board

To Register

For Individuals
For Organizations

From Bored 2 Board (FB2B) is an extension of the Nonprofit Executives networking group.

“Too many people are not sharing their expertise, business intelligence and resources with the communities most in need. FB2B is here to help.”

FB2B will serve to bring together:

  1. Those individuals who want to find a Board of Director’s role that meets their interests and qualifications and
  2. Organizations seeking the opportunity to meet with new, prospective Board Members. Both Individuals and Organizations will be able to post their qualifications/needs on the site, to help facilitate outreach and connection.

Leigh in his role as an invested Nonprofit Consultant and avid networker, beyond just NPE, is consistently asked for recommendations by both individuals and Organizations. FB2B will allow him to help make introductions.

A Letter from Sarah

LETTERS TO LEIGH

Hi Leigh,

I wanted to share my good news with you. I am going to be part-time Interim ED at Helping Hands Monkey Helpers in Boston. In the breakout session at the last nonprofit executive meeting, you suggested I position myself as an interim. And through CCT, I found that this group had this transition going on, so I offered my services as interim. And yesterday I was hired!

I am very thankful to you for making this suggestion. I had actually done this 22 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. I suggested to the company to bring me in for 3 months while they searched for their perfect person, knowing that I had another big “project” coming up. But somehow, I forgot that. And I am in gratitude to you for reminding me!

Looking forward to next week’s session.

Warmly,
Sarah

How do we make new connections when we’re all at home?

By

Making New Connections from Home

I recently signed up for an online panel discussion on the effects of the pandemic on nonprofits and their funders.  

For some reason I just assumed it was a Zoom or similar video chat. When I realized it was audio only, to my surprise, I was disappointed. I have come to appreciate seeing faces of people that I know, while also meeting new people. If these new contacts say something interesting, I can jot down their name and look them up on LinkedIn, and perhaps reach out and try to initiate a conversation.  I also love to be able to go through the participant list and, for those I know, send a brief but sincere “Hello” to them. 

As the former CFO of a conference calling company, it makes me wonder if the audio-only aspect of communicating is going away, or will at least stay significantly reduced.

In these times of work-from-home, with online video meetings replacing in-person meetings, we do run the risk of “Zoom fatigue”, but is changing the format of meetings from face-to-face to audio-only worth removing the chance to build new or solidify existing relationships and networks? 

Send me your thoughts! I’d love to hear from you.

The Dancing CPA – The Ellen Show

You may have heard that I recently attended the taping of the 10th day of 12 Days of Giveaways of The Ellen Show – the show aired on Friday  What you might not know is that I had the UNBELIEVABLE opportunity to participate in the Ellen Show dance off….which I took advantage of to the Nth degree. (Click here to see what happened.)

Dancing CFO

So this has gone a bit viral. @TheEllenShow posted my “gift of dance” on Twitter and we are now over 270K views!

As it is The Giving Season, I am creating a campaign using the @TheEllenShow tag line of “I give you this gift of dance.” I want to direct the traffic to the nonprofit organizations that I work with and encourage visitors to make donations.
