Please pardon that this post does not relate to philanthropy….but it does relate to civil society, and one would not exist without the other. Also, please forgive that the voting dates are relevant in the United States....but please note that the significance of having a voice is universal............



I just sent in my absentee ballot vote for the South Carolina Presidential Primary Election (not held until later this month,  but I wanted to make SURE my vote counted!!!). 


I learned that Georgia's primaries were bumped up a month....I know you're all on top of these kind of things.........just wanted to send along a friendly reminder.......


Here's the Presidential Primary calendar for all the States:

Tell your friends!

Ciao!

Research and Decision Making

gavel 

 As we work to improve the decision making process and its ensuing consequences, we should really aim to understand the context, environment, and factors that may impact (or be impacted by) the decisions we make. In conducting strategic planning sessions, making preparations for programming, or assessing needs within our communities, research is a critical element to allow our organizations and boards to make informed decisions.
