It's that time of year again. Time to hop on a plane and gather with 2,000+ of my favorite people at BBCON. And I can't wait! BBCON? That's the Blackbaud Conference for Nonprofits (if you're on Twitter, check out @bbcon and #bbcon). The...
I always look forward to the Trident United Way's annual Day of Caring . This year was no different. I joined about 200 of my Charleston-based colleagues who set out on Friday, September 9th to tackle various volunteer jobs in the community. Typically...

...A guest post by Sally Ehrenfried, Community Relations When people talk about diversity, they often think in terms of race, gender and ethnicity. Yet when you include diversity of geography, thought, skill set, experience and more, you get a broader...
The new year always brings with it a flurry of "kick-offs." These meetings bring teams together to make plans for the year ahead, learn from each other and outside experts, and create a dynamic that will help them achieve their goals. What made...
Late last year, I met a fascinating person who challenged me to think about how I wrote and spoke about driving change through philanthropy. He made a truly insightful observation about the message I convey. Being a writer at heart who cares about words...
Happy New Year! So, I'm a little late. Sorry about that. I always have the best intentions, the first week of the year, to jump right on things. I promise you that I DID that this year. It just turns out that I didn't get to ALL the things I wanted...
