New Resources in the Foundation Center Collection
New Resources in the Foundation Center Collection
06/09/08 15:54 , Categories: Resources I want to highlight two new resources that are being added to the Foundation Center Collection.
The first book is Sarbanes-Oxley for Nonprofit Boards, by Peggy M. Jackson. Did you think that Sarbanes-Oxley only affects major corporations, not local nonprofits like yours? Or, perhaps you’ve never even heard of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, passed in 2002 in the wake of the Enron scandal. This book can help you learn more about the act, as well as help you to incorporate best practices for accountability into your organization.
Once you feel fully accountable, you may need a little inspiration. Check out Momentum: Igniting Social Change in the Connected Age, by Allison H. Fine. From the book jacket:
How can we move from serving soup until our elbows ache to actually solving social ills like hunger or homelessness? How can we break the disastrous cycle of low expectations that leads to chronic social failures?
The answers to these questions lie within Momentum, a book that offers a fresh, dynamic way of thinking about and organizing social change work.
These books are both available for check out from the Tulsa City-County Library. Reserve one or both of them for yourself, today, using the library’s online catalog.
