I've been thinking about this some in the context of the current conversation about 'transparency'--the flip side must be those who are willing to take advantage of transparency to ask the hard questions about what they learn, and how those who are being transparent will deal with those same hard questions. I'll be thinking about this post a lot. Awesome, and so needed.

Totally agree. The nonprofit sector really started heading south when it adopted all these bullshit corporate practices. CEO & COO?? You kidding me! I guess Executive Director wasn't good enough. I'm for efficiencies. But I'm also for focus on mission and realize that you can't always serve two masters. Excellent post! Totally agree.

My favorite line of a recent op-ed on Howard Zinn (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/30/opinion/30herbert.html): "That he was considered radical says way more about this society than it does about him." We need to simultaneously reexamine the approaches of nonprofits and make the sector stronger. Nothing short of a movement to challenge the status quo will change the current system! I'm helping to open a space called Hub DC, which will be a part of a global network (http://the-hub.net) of spaces for social innovation. It will be a place for people to collaborate with others who prioritize finding solutions over anything else. It will be a TimeBank that engages the many separate communities of DC to find new solutions to local, national and international challenges. Because it will be connected to other Hubs around the U.S. and the world, it will be a perfect avenue for the V3 campaign, among other coalitions for social change. If you or anyone you know is interested in contributing to Hub DC's creation, shoot me an e-mail! allison.basile@the-hub.net @HubDC http://hubdc.wordpress.com/ This post is on point, Rosetta!
