The security folks in YYZ Terminal 3 (BC gates) might want to check their metal scanners. I just walked through one without setting it off - with a completely metal knee.“First time that’s happened,” they said, then continued about their business. Ummmm, can we escalate this please?

If I was picking person of the year, without a shadow of a doubt, it would be Gisele Pelicot. She has and will change things around the world.

To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day.
The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.

Brainstormed for a $1m proposal. Attended a 1hr HR meeting (all in French). Learned about AI in medicine. Talked mental health with my boss. Debriefed on a gala. Day in the life of a happy fundraiser. 🩻🩺

This is a great list.
So, I've just created a new group on LinkedIn, to help diversify speaker panels at Charity events, so that we don't see the same faces everywhere on repeat. Please help spread the word: www.linkedin.com/groups/13127...

We are also here on BlueSky: diversespeakers.bsky.social

Hi #npsky #nonprofits, trying two new tags (I'd been #nonprofitsky). My latest for @npquarterly.bsky.social: House committee passed HB 9495, which would let Treasury sec. strip nonprofits of status if deemed "terrorism-supporting." Could target *any* nonprofit. nonprofitquarterly.org/bill-threate...

Good morning ☀️A big day ahead with the annual in-person meeting of our Dean’s Leadership Council followed by our gala tomorrow. After 20 years of consulting, it’s such a joy to be on the practitioner side of the fundraising table. Most make the opposite transition, but not me!
