Wanted - Conflict Manager
by Sharon C. Gherman, President/CEO
Funding Exchange, Inc.
“Wanted: CEO to lead a growing nonprofit organization. Must be a strong leader with excellent fundraising ability and communication skills. Conflict resolution skills required.”
Rarely is the message that “stress and conflict lie within” as clearly stated as it is in the job posting above, but it would be helpful if we could know the true atmosphere of a nonprofit before we commit ourselves there, wouldn’t it?!
Should We Develop a
Cell Phone Policy
?
By Kristina M. Brophy, Community Development Specialist
Funding Exchange, Inc.
Cell phones have become increasingly popular all over the world. Statistics gathered by CTIA Wireless Association indicate that in the United States, the number of cell phones in use has grown from 69% of the population in December 2005 to 96% by December 2010. Many people now view cell phones as a necessity rather than a luxury. Cell phones have provided people an opportunity to stay connected even while separated by thousands of miles. We would probably agree that being constantly connected and accessible makes doing business easier and more convenient. Cell phones are our own personal computers, enabling us to manage our calendars, write lists, bank, navigate, check on the weather, listen to music, take photos, play games, text, and yes, even talk once in a while!
