Weekly Update

A lot of the news over the last few days has been about the deaths of celebrities Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. Earlier this week, we learned that Ed McMahon also died from cancer. Details and stories of each of their lives and the impact they have had on generations of people all over the world have been told and retold in various news outlets and specials. What emerges from each of them is the “legacies” they have left for their families and their fans of all ages. And, after hearing several of these news accounts, it appears that their years of work and contributions to their specific industries are being compacted into “soundbites.”

While we certainly don’t have the global celebrity impact, each of us has the opportunity to create our own legacy. It may relate to our work in providing essential public services to those in need, or our volunteer or community service, or our relationships with family and friends. Our interactions every day with others helps us to write our “life story.” I encourage you to think about your legacy and the impact you have on those around you. What will be your “soundbite?”

Enhancing the Delivery of Public Services by Nonprofit Agencies

The Enhancing the Delivery of Public Services by Nonprofit Agencies report was recognized as an ICMA Innovation Award Winner in 2004.

The purpose of this report is to identify best practice among nonprofit organizations that deliver public services and to make recommendations to Sedgwick County for improving its contracting procedures to enhance the delivery of public services provided by nonprofit agencies.  Three content areas will be addressed - governance, administration and financial management of nonprofits - and recommendations will be made with respect to prevention, warning signs and early interventions.
