| Technical Assistance, Management Support & Fundraising Advice |
| TACS Portland |
| www.tacs.org Technical Assistance for Community Service, TACS, in Portland, is a tremendous resource for Oregon and Northwest nonprofits interested in improving their management, organizational development, program planning and execution, or darn near anything you ask. The recently retired (June 2008) founder, Kay Sohl, may be the smartest person I know in the field. |
| COMPASSPOINT NONPROFIT SERVICES San Francisco & San Jose |
| www.compasspoint.org Similar to TACS, CompassPoint Nonprofit Services, in San Francisco and San Jose, is a tremendous resource for Nonprofits offering a wide range of publications, training, and consulting services. CompassPoint also produces valuable conferences, including the annual Nonprofit Day and Beyond the Bottom Line, a day-long conference focused on financial management matters. |
| ROCKWOOD LEADERSHIP PROGRAM Berkeley / Everywhere |
| www.rockwoodleadership.org Headquartered in Berkeley, Rockwood Leadership Program is a program that brings leadership training to progressive leaders and staff. It has an impressive list of trainees and partners. What is unique about Rockwood's approach, in my experience, is that they focus on inner-self development as part of the leadership development process; this acknowledgement of a slightly spiritual take on our work is new, and helpful. Rockwood is increasingly interested in better collaboration in the progressive world. Andre Carothers, founder, recently wrote in Social Policy that we need to learn to "sort for similarities rather than differences." I am honored to sit on Rockwood's Board of Directors. |
