Our country is divided. As nonprofit bridge builders we can begin to change that.
Kate Rubalcava, CEO, Utah Nonprofits Association
Late last week the Dalai Lama talked about usefulness and feeling needed and how those things intertwine with our humanity as a people. Ultimately indicating that those who serve others are happier. I challenge each of us this week and in the months ahead, as we unpack the 2016 election cycle, to reflect on that concept of service to others. How lucky are we that in Utah there is such dedication to volunteerism and service. Each and every one of us can recall a moving story we’ve heard about someone else’s volunteer experience and how they have been moved or influenced by what they have learned. We also likely have our own.
The nonprofit sector, as you all well know, serves a great purpose in our communities. Our sector bridges the gap in services that government and business cannot fill. As nonprofit professionals we work tirelessly each day to provide quality experiences for our youth and our seniors. We work to ensure that our lands are protected, that our air is cleaner and our water is safe to drink. We work to feed the hungry and to provide housing for those who do not have shelter. We provide counseling and crisis intervention throughout all hours of the day. We provide safe and nurturing environments for all to learn and grow in. The ripple effect of our service to others makes the sun shine brighter each day and it also lights the faces of those we interact with daily. Which is why I refuse to believe that we, as nonprofit professionals, embody the hatred that I am seeing and hearing about in the aftermath of the election of President-elect Trump.
There were dozens of candidates, in Utah alone, that ran for political office. Those brave souls saw gaps to be filled in their communities and decided to do something about it. I applaud each of them for their bravery, their commitment to their values and the needs of their communities .....Read More
