Last week, I blogged about my first thoughts after hearing about Independent Sector’s new “Envisioning Our Future” Initiative designed to “reinvent the nonprofit sector”: Independent Sector Launches “Envisioning Our Future” Initiative, But is it Inclusive Enough?
I was lamenting the lack of young people involved in the gathering, and was happy to see Neel Hajra, President and CEO of NEW (Nonprofit Enterprise at Work) post this encouraging comment:
Hey, I’m an under-40 person of color at a $1M nonprofit who is headed to the StrategyLab. I realize I’m not a national name, but hopefully that’s part of the point. I’m looking forward to participating, and will try to tweet (@new_org) and maybe blog some evening updates – no communication devices allowed during day! I am optimistic that good things will come out of this. More to come!
True to his promise, Neel tweeted and blogged about his experiences at StrategyLab during all three days of the gathering. It’s a good thing, too, because it seems that no one else was tweeting or blogging. No one. Check out his thoughts!
Thank you Neel for giving all of us “outsiders” some insight into what was happening during the conversations.
