The Community of Friends
To take this lesson to another level, I am currently building a major-gifts program, and one of my volunteer leaders is also working in a leadership role with another charity. He likes both charities equally. I have high regard for my counterpart at the other charity, and we have actually attended functions together at the request of the volunteer leader. We both do not mind at all. We both strive to exceed expectations with him. In fact, I am honored to work with both men. I know this happens with all of you every day, whether you know it or not. This is what makes the nonprofit arena special and unique.
I am so proud to work in a community of friends!
