There are a lot of debates about when it is acceptable to begin playing Christmas songs. Am I right? I have certainly been around some heated conversations about this subject. After discussing this topic with my household, we have a family agreement that there will be no Christmas music until after Thanksgiving.

In a recent article at GivingUSA.org entitled Take Me Out to the Ballgame!: a Comparison Between Fundraising and Baseball, the authors examine how baseball and fundraising rely on similar tools of the trade to be successful: good data, teamwork, strategy, practice, investments made in players, coaches, equipment and training, and making the right moves based on the environment and how things change during the course of a single game or over an entire season.
Recently my husband attended a business conference in Las Vegas, and he invited me to come along.

We’re living and working through some of the most difficult times of our lives. Not only are we individually and collectively moving through the complexities of a global pandemic, we are also in a moment of great decision about where we’ll go from here. We are standing at the intersection of several choices, including going back to what we know (or at least trying to) and choosing to transform an entire culture. Many of us are eagerly awaiting the return of a pre-pandemic life, while others of us have fully accepted that things will never be the same.
Whether you’re ready to expand your organizational capacity and move forward with purpose, or just want to talk shop, we’d love to connect.
