I don't mean annual evaluations checklists or even the many software systems that claim to do the job. I mean a system of face-to-face performance planning meetings where the leader meets with each staff member and agrees to performance priorities and action plans with periodic progress reviews. Has anyone seen anything like that in their non-profit? </p> http://forums.commongoodvt.org/topic/building-skills-to-monitor-evaluate-performance-outcomes#post-1037 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 10:49:46 +0000 Lauren-Glenn Davitian 1037@http://forums.commongoodvt.org/ <p>If you have any questions for Donna Reback or Joy Livingston concerning their presentation at the Vermont Nonprofit Conference on 4/14, pleas post it here! </p> http://forums.commongoodvt.org/topic/vt-npos-in-changing-times-questions-for-gretchen-morse#post-1040 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 10:58:01 +0000 Lauren-Glenn Davitian 1040@http://forums.commongoodvt.org/ <p>If you have questions for Gretchen Morse about the future of Vermont nonprofits, using outcomes to improve community life and your organization's effectiveness (or any topic related to her presentation at the VT NPO Conference on 4/14), please post them here. </p> http://forums.commongoodvt.org/topic/tips-to-turn-you-into-a-world-class-mark-questions-for-spike-advertising#post-1039 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 10:55:58 +0000 Lauren-Glenn Davitian 1039@http://forums.commongoodvt.org/ <p>If you have questions for Julia Andrews or Ken Millman of Spike advertising about how to "make a difference by being different" and using marketing to expand your reach and impact, please post them here. </p> http://forums.commongoodvt.org/topic/outcomes-to-funding-questions-for-rachel-jolly-of-vermont-works-for-women#post-1038 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 10:54:28 +0000 Lauren-Glenn Davitian 1038@http://forums.commongoodvt.org/ <p>If you have a question for Rachel Jolly of Vermont Works for Women about how they used outcomes to design their program(s) and generate community support, please post it here. </p> http://forums.commongoodvt.org/topic/should-vermonts-nonprofit-sector-make-a-statement-in-support-of-single-payer-he#post-1027 Mon, 14 Feb 2011 09:20:47 +0000 Dave Thurlow 1027@http://forums.commongoodvt.org/ <p>Adopting single payer would clearly have a life-changing, if not life-saving effect on nonprofits that are now cutting health care coverage AND STILL facing rising premiums and deductibles…. not to mention the effect on the 50 to 100,000 high need individuals that all human service non profits strive to empower. </p> <p>How could anything have a greater impact on people who chose between, eating, staying warm, staying healthy, staying safe, and staying put… before they can even consider making a better life for themselves.</p> <p>This is a cross-sector concern (crisis?) but the nonprofit sector should help by speaking loudly, forcefully, and collectively to counteract what will surely be resistance from the moneyed interests wishing to keep the status quo.</p> <p>I’m not a nonprofit leader, but if I was, I’d be asking my colleagues why forming such a statement would not be in our collective best interest, and in the interest of those we serve.</p> <p>The misunderstanding and misinformation about single payer swirling around WITHIN the human service sector itself is disheartening, but could be overcome by nonprofits discussing the issue internally, then with other oganizations.</p> <p>Does anyone know of a reason that human and social sevice nonprofits and the people they serve would not benefit from a single payer system? </p> http://forums.commongoodvt.org/topic/vcf-spring-grant-round-q-a#post-998 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 11:56:36 +0000 CommonGood VT 998@http://forums.commongoodvt.org/ <p>Program Officers of the Vermont Community Foundation will be available online to answer your questions about their Spring 2011 Grant Round.
