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.

serving environmental groups, specifically grantees of Seattle's Wilburforce Foundation.
