The Depletion of Social Sector Leaders
How to Inspire Change Through our Daily Actions
Abstract
Have you have ever been to a gathering hosted by a nonprofit group? Maybe it was a rally, an interest meeting, or a fundraiser? I’ve been to many of them myself.
What I’ve noticed at almost all of them is two things: (1) the people there are very passionate about their causes and (2) they often serve bad coffee. I’m talking about coffee where the farmers who grew it are living in extreme poverty or coffee grown on large plantations and harvested by migrant workers paid pennies for a hard day’s work. Maybe serving this kind of coffee doesn’t happen at a fundraiser – that’s when they bring out the fine china and gourmet food and drink. I’m talking about rallies, interest meetings, panels, and presentations. That’s when you see the Folgers in a percolator with Styrofoam cups, plastic stirrers, and fake creamer.
