Reading an internal Seattle Children's memo today, I was struck by a rec to use sick time for mental health. Which really, I shouldn't be -- physical health *always* includes mental health. But it's still something we don't talk about enough in American workplaces. Knowing that I can take time off to focus on my mental health without any stigma is amazing. Whether it's taking a day to recharge, attending therapy, or simply practicing self-care, I feel supported and understood. #MentalHealthMatters #WorkplaceWellbeing #SupportEachOther

Transparency can’t exist without accountability. But why are glaring flaws being ignored? We all agree that transparency in government processes is critical. Especially when evaluating nonprofits that provide essential services to at-risk youth. The Orange County Citizens' Commission for Children introduced a process to ensure fairness and transparency. But there’s a question we need to ask: Why hasn’t anyone looked into the discrepancies in the number of reviewers assigned to each nonprofit? Some organizations received evaluations from multiple reviewers. Others? Just a few. How is that fair? How is that transparent? 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠: If this division is committed to fairness, why didn’t contracting or legal teams flag this inconsistency? Are we really ensuring that nonprofits are evaluated properly? 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭: • If some organizations have fewer reviewers, their scores will be less balanced. • Nonprofits doing important work might receive unfairly lower scores. • The evaluation process should be consistent across the board. Transparency is more than just a word. It’s a commitment to fairness. It’s making sure every organization has an equal chance to be evaluated fairly. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞? 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: ↳ Every discrepancy needs to be examined and corrected. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲: ↳ All nonprofits should have the same number of reviewers. 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬: ↳ If some nonprofits are reviewed by fewer people, how is that fair? Nonprofits are on the frontlines, helping the most vulnerable. Their work impacts real lives. And yet, they face the possibility of being misjudged simply because of an unequal evaluation process. Is this truly transparency? We need to demand accountability. We need to make sure transparency isn’t just on paper but in practice. Because without accountability, transparency is meaningless. The Commission has the responsibility to make sure every organization is judged fairly. This isn’t just about fairness—it’s about ensuring that nonprofits can continue serving the people who need them most. 𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬: How can the Commission expect nonprofits to thrive if they aren’t evaluated properly? Shouldn’t we demand that these flaws are addressed before more organizations are harmed? Why weren’t these glaring issues caught earlier in the process? The evaluation system needs more than just surface-level transparency. It needs accountability at every stage. We must call for a process that truly reflects fairness. For nonprofits. For the communities they serve. For the future of those at risk. What’s your view? How can we make sure transparency goes beyond the surface and truly reflects the values of fairness and accountability? Rod Love CEO of CSG Tech Solutions President of Florida Economic Consortium

The board manual not only features best and emerging practices in foundation board governance but also provides context around trends, issues and data that impact board work.

NDN Collective invites community members to attend our FREE Know Your Rights Training. This Abolitionist training will be focused on cop interactions and give the community tools to use and feel empowered to invoke their constitutional rights when they are speaking to police. In Pennington County Native Americans make up 9% of the population yet we make up 62% of the jail population. These statistics are not coincidental and show a racial targeting of our people in our homelands. Attendees of the training will learn about the cannabis law discrepancies and nuances that exist between legality of marijuana on the Pine Ridge reservation and state law. We’ll also give you tips on what to do in cop interactions, what to do in a search, how to leave the cop interaction safely, and how to file a complaint on a cop abusing power in a stop. “The Lakota Nation Invitational is a beautiful gathering of our youth, their families and supporters. Even though we are coming together in a beautiful way, we know our people may be targeted by cops in unlawful stops while they are in Mni Luzuhan. Knowledge is power and we want to give our relatives tools and information to protect themselves in these cop interactions.” Bre Gibson, Legal Coordinator. Training will be held at The Monument and will be offered at two training times, a morning session and an afternoon session. The first 40 people who register will receive a free swag bag! Register NOW! • RVSP AM Session: ndnco.cc/kyrcitam • RSVP PM Session: ndnco.cc/kyrcitpm Link in Bio under ‘Events.’ To learn more about the training, visit: ndnco.cc/kyrci If you have any questions, please contact Bre at [email protected] or 605-791-3999. #KnowYourRights #KYR #FreeTraining #NDNCollective
