I've been especially gratified by the response to the services I offer for nonprofit organizations. When I went into practice, I knew that there were lots of places where many hardworking folks needed a hand, but I also know that too many nonprofits wait until it's very hard to help them to reach out and ask for it. Some of the most satisfying work I do is to help groups of volunteers who have formed (or are thinking about forming) an organization to pursue their vision for a better community. I love being able to share some of what I've learned over the years.
And one reason I founded the Nonprofit Organizations Law Section as a professional practice section in the Oregon State Bar was that I saw that there wasn't enough sharing of resources among people who support the sector. Sometimes it seems like competitors in the for-profit sector were doing more sharing than nonprofits who don't even compete with each other.
Then, today, it occurred to me that I could do more, because I have a lot of great resources on my shelf that could benefit more groups than just my clients. So, to continue with the sharing theme, I would like to offer to make my bookshelf available to nonprofits here in Salem (or with board members willing to come to Salem). Just call or send me an email to make an appointment to have your executive director or a couple board members come by to check out what's available -- when I got to looking at it today, I realized it's quite a decent collection of current materials.
I hope I can share some with you soon.
