Those who believe the word revolves around them figure "no biggie", but where was the JFNA staff - who could have both contributed, and learned, from the various JFN sessions? Out to lunch as usual. <br /><br />If JFNA's CEO had any common sense at all, the LCE meeting would have also taken place in Miami - where personal relationships with hundreds of funders could have perhaps bloomed. <br /><br />But no, JFNA continues to live in its own bubble trying to be all things to all people and succeeding at none. <br /><br />JFNA, z"l. May their 20th Century memory be a blessing.

Out of JAFI a promising work in progress with an ambitious startup timeframe and the engagement of diverse 100's in the conversation. Their just released Preliminary Report is well written, sensible and clear with some inspiring suggestions. Was it perfect? Maybe not? Was it an attempt at transparency and inclusion - definitely. Did it cost less in time and dollars to get to this point? Undoubtably. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
