🕤 Flashback to just over a month ago when we invited friends from our ecosystem to celebrate the first three years of Creative Evolutions!

I just got my updated annual Stakes of Financial Interest!
'Having a permanent right to a financial payout (however large or small) through Stakes of Financial Interest is a very clear way to demonstrate to each person that they are a valuable part of the journey and essential to all that follows.'

After some very warm introductions, Calida Jones & Doug Clayton (Co-founders) showed the collage they made that represents our #3YearsOfEvolutions
On Tuesday when they showed me they'd been working on this, I knew they had it under control. /2

💡Across the country, staff, board members, and funders repeatedly tell us the same thing: the traditional board model isn’t working for many organizations. (If it works great for you, that's fantastic! This is for everyone else.)

We get a lot of questions about mission statements. So let's unpack that whole idea and put many more choices on the table!
Whatever we do, let's stop spending days at a time (and thousands of dollars) /1

We jumped on the opportunity to submit a proposal for #SXSWEDU because we see this as a way to uplift the conversations on Non-Profit Boards that we've been hearing (and having) across the country. Can you help us make it happen? /1

"So this is no secret to anyone, but the nonprofit board structure is not working and it likely has not worked really in a very long time. And people talk about it, they whisper about it, but the idea of having a public conversation feels very scary and it shouldn't be scary.
