But the reality is that in many nonprofit organizations, different teams and departments do not have a shared mental model for a culture of philanthropy.

It has now become a fun game for me to hear them articulate what I do. But really, these are just labels and don’t truly reflect the work I do. Near the end of the discussion, a reporter said to me, “I hate to be that guy, but you’re pretty good at talking about what’s possible – yet we live in an old-school philanthropy world.

On Twitter, Kami Huyse pointed over to her reflections on this paper which lead me again to the paper itself. This voice, articulated through social media, can be extremely powerful and can force individuals, companies and communities to change the way they behave. There's a lot to digest here. How does one use this information ???

I'm focusing on the community response to the prospect of the millage and the way the public debate reflects broader conversations about the public value of the arts. But the arguments trotted out represent how far we have to go in articulating the public value of arts institutions (and helping our supporters speak the same language).

I don't think she is saying SL is a fad that will go away as other people without her depth of knowledge have articulated. These posts have sparked some thoughtful reflections, from a folks on the Second Life Educator's List and I'm going to quote and summarize a few: The Second Life Doubter's Club. Come on, get real already.

The intent was to provide a deep dive for program officers to reflect on the way they currently work, identify what needs to change to create more impact, and come up with some prototypes. Afterwards, I facilitated a reflective conversation about the various ideas – what were the patterns? Shark Bank. What is actionable?

I also learned that the best money in museums for someone who's starting out is in art modeling. I survived the first half of 2003 financially on art modeling and poetry gigs. Articulate what you can do for your organization, not what you can do generally. It was like getting paid to process the day in a lovely setting.

The resulting (real) exhibits are high-quality experiences that reflect a level of creativity that could not have resulted from our scant in-house exhibit development staff. We had several community discussions about the competition disincentivizing collaboration--the money sent a contradictory signal to all our talk about sharing.

And so for some organizations, going to a hybrid model, which I’ll talk about for a little bit is going to be most advantageous to the health of your organization. Let us discuss, my friends.

Our desire to "protect kids"--which reflects twenty years of clamping down (at least in the U.S.) Few were able to articulate a response policy that wasn't based entirely on the volume of the ire raised.
