Citi Foundation Creates $11.2m Program with SEEP Network to Strengthen Trade Associations
The Citi Foundation will work with the Small Enterprise Education and Promotion Network (SEEP) to create the 3-year USD 11.2 million Citi Network Strengthening Program.

Value Based Boards
The values of the owner(s), board members and organizational leaders determine, both directly and indirectly, the culture of the organization, which in turn is a major determinate of the success of the organization. In other words, successful values produce successful organizations, and visa versa. Organizational effectiveness and success begin in the board room, and can be measured—and affected—by the quality of board organization, interaction and operation.

4 Ways to Ensure Your Business Thrives
What’s the biggest problem facing your organization? Inadequate funding? Burnout of employees, volunteers, board members? Lack of vision? Overwhelming workload? Many, many organizations face these issues. But if you think “Well, that’s just the nature of this kind of work,” think again. These problems are often symptoms indicating that an organization has slipped into what I call a culture of endurance. Please note that endurance is not the same as perseverance. When organizations persevere, everyone may work long hours and get by on a shoestring, but employees, volunteers, board members, and general membership all feel energized, enthusiastic, and united by a common goal/mission. When companies or nonprofits are in endurance, however, they exhibit some typical symptoms:
Trust: Walking the Talk
If attracting and keeping talented and qualified employees is a goal, how your organization exhibits trust and trustworthy behavior is critical. As a team core value, trust in self, team members, leaders and the organization is difficult to acquire, and if abused, harder to salvage. Learn what behaviors build trust and what behaviors predictably damage trust and all important relationships.

Remembering The Three W's Of Recruiting Board Members
The success of nonprofit organizations is contingent on many factors, including the recruitment and development of board members who are committed to helping the organization accomplish its mission. This article provides a tool for recruiting board members who are in the best position to aid the organization.

Understanding Organizational Culture
An excellent approach to understanding the “real” organizational culture is to see it as the language of day-to-day feelings expressed through the individual and collective beliefs, gestures, words and actions of its members. This real organizational culture does not occur or evolve simply as the result of prominently displayed words. Culture evolves because of the actual behaviors and actions of all members of the organization – particularly those in leadership positions.

Training Nonprofit Board Members to Read and Understand Financial Reports
One of the items board members are responsible for is to monitor the financial situation of the organization. As such, board members should be familiar with the types of financial reports the organization uses to demonstrate its financial standing. This article identifies the types of financial reports most commonly used by nonprofits, and stresses the importance of training board members to read and understand financial reports.

Nonprofit Board Member Manuals - What Should You Include?
When you have a board of directors, it is always a good idea to have a Board Member Manual. A Manual is a great tool for board members to use when they need quick and easy access to critical information about the organization. It compiles important documents into one binder, so they don't waste time and energy looking for what they need in several files or locations. Does your organization have a manual for its board members?
Watch your Language - the truth about language, diversity, and customer service
If you employ workers whose first language isn’t English, you may have come to regard these individuals as your organization’s greatest resource. They are hard working, appreciative, and utterly reliable. Unfortunately, these same workers may also be your organization’s greatest vulnerability. Employees whose English isn’t proficient may be unintentionally straining relationships with your customers. Simply put, if customers can’t easily understand your employees, they will take their business elsewhere; to a place where they won’t have to work so hard to spend their money. That’s why when organizations bring me in to do customer service training seminars for their team members, we occasionally need to address some of the language issues.

No Medicine Cures Negativity Once It Starts Festering In Your Network Marketing Business.
You should encourage all of your team members to contact you directly, regardless of their position within your organization, if they find their sponsor to be unresponsive. Train them to “throw up” their negativity rather than “throwing it down” to infect other members of the team.
