Who pops into your mind when someone talks about transformational leadership? Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.? Nelson Mandela? Rachel Carson? Dorothea Dix? People like these have etched themselves forever in our minds for their unswerving revolve to help those less fortunate and their tenacious pursuit of a more decent world. Read Diana’s blog on how we might grow sector leaders at every level -- a task that’s fundamental to our success and our ability to create strong, diverse, and effective communities.
From abolition to women’s suffrage, from child welfare to civil rights, the act of respecting and honoring the humanity of marginalized people everywhere is part of our sector’s DNA. Yet too many of our organizations today don’t fully reflect such principles in their hiring practices, selection of board members, use of vendors, and work with stakeholders. I invite you to read my blog on the challenge before us: converting our values into concrete actions that truly make us a diverse community.
