Cultivate 2011

by admin on February 1, 2011 · 2 comments

Most of you know that my company helps non profits and social enterprises develop effective communication strategies.  We also help with the implementation of those strategies.  So I was pretty excited when the organizers of Cultivate 2011 reached out and asked me to be a part of their very unique conference.

Rather than just getting experts to talk up front, they are bringing in a panel after each short talk to discuss implementation and contextualization. This is really a passion of mine and I am excited to help lead those discussions. Many friends and folks I really respect will be either speaking or a part of various panels including Charles Lee and Mark Horvath.

The line up appears to be geared towards the faith based sector but it is being marketed heavily towards the general non profit market as well.  Regardless of which camp you fit into, if you are looking to better communicate, market, fund raise, etc I am quite certain that this will be a rewarding experience.

If you will be there, please let me know so we can be sure to grab a cup of coffee or some tequila.

Family Mission Statement

by admin on February 19, 2010 · 7 comments

Every now and then I like to revisit this PUBLICLY.  It gives me a chance to ask you how I am doing and gives you a chance to see a glimpse into the why behind some of the decisions I make.

Our family mission statement can be viewed here or you can see the text only version at the bottom of this post.

This is why my company spends so much of our time with social enterprise and non profit organizations, why my kids were up way past their bedtime last night at Laundry Love Santa Ana and why we go out to eat a lot less than we used to.

Does you family have a mission statement?  Does it help guide your decisions?
