Beth have you heard of NESC National Executive Service Corps, an organization deovoted to counseling non profits, staffed with retired executives who donate their services?. They consult for some of the major non profits. I contributed a project for the Municipal Art Society, the Eldridge St. Synagogue, and Ethical Culture among others.
I am currently writing my memoir on typepad. You can look in at

@alhamp - yes I've heard of them. My first big job was as general manager of the Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra. I had to do all the financial accounting, I didn't know anything about it. I went to NESC to find a volunteer who referred me to someone who was accountant teacher and coached me through double entry accounting systems, reading balance sheets, etc.

I heart Beth. More seriously, she is a provocative inspiration to all of us nonprofit communications and/or techie types.

I'm glad you've highlighted Beth--she's pointing a lot of nonprofits in the right direction. I like her even more now after the PowerPoint template rant....

Helping people with a charity mindset is hard to come by these days. Take care.

I have learned much from Beth on the topic of social media and technology in support of nonprofits. She practices what she writes about and has changed many lives for the better through her actions.
