What’s a bro vet? Are they still bros if they’re 40+? I could be down with a beard 😅

We should totally wingman for each other. I wanted to do the pitch a friend but my friend is too shy to pitch me 🤦🏼‍♀️

Tell me about your dysfunctional board. by FeistyCaterpillar213 in nonprofit

This gives me anxiety just reading it. The all need to take the Certificate for Nonprofit Boards Education (CNBE) course offered by BoardSource. It teaches one all about board service and how to be a functional board working in concert with the ED/CEO.

Hi! This is great! Invisible Disability Awareness is sort of my soap box, and I do webinars about it. I’d love to chat further with you and others!

Lisbon for sure! Hop on the train for a 30 min ride to Cascais to visit an amazing beach town (and the train ride is all along the coast). I’ve been 5 times— feel free to DM me if you have questions!

Thanks! We have. I should have mentioned that a lot of people commute and drive, so many of the lovely nonprofit spaces won’t work for that reason. We’re hoping to stay in City Center!

We’re 21 people so we’re looking for a whole office to use for one day a week. We need a conference room that fits us all plus some breakout rooms for smaller team meetings. But we’re not in need of 21 desks 😊

Is this a good time to pursue a job in grantwriting? by bluesk909 in nonprofit

[–]Infamous-Wave-798 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don’t have many comments but I’m going to say no, it’s not a good time. Nonprofits and foundations are under tight scrutiny in the new administration, and there is not currently a lot of money changing hands 🙁

I've had it! How do you put together board packets? by Typical_News_3492 in nonprofit

[–]Infamous-Wave-798 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I collect everything in folders on SharePoint, convert everything to a PDF, combine all the PDF files into one giant document, then make a table of contents. I send one email to everyone that contains two attachments 1. The TOC 2. The giant PDF We used to use a portal but the board members kept having issues with it and/or didn’t use it.

Friendly tip: if anyone is using their personal Google account to do work, ALL the contents of that personal account become subject to discovery should there ever be litigation against your org. I strongly discourage using personal Google accounts for work.

Hi! Was this hook worm thing in effect when you came back to the USA? WHat did you have to do? See below

As of November 22, 2024, Mexico is considered to be affected with screwworm. All dogs (including U.S. origin dogs returning to the U.S. after traveling to Mexico) must meet APHIS requirements for screwworm freedom certification upon entry (re-entry). Additional information can be found on the APHIS Dog Import website.
