Love Is Blind: A Guide Dog’s Life (coming soon)
Not only will Kevin be center stage but so will Cody, the wonderful dog which inspired this book. The humorous stories told in the book are just the “tip” of the iceberg!
Philanthropy in the 21st Century
As it has been in the past, it will be the fives and tens that build that new wing of the recreation building or that pays the light bill and janitorial service for your entire operation. From the annual fund drive to the capital campaign, embracing the donors – ensuring that your fund raising is true “development” is the focus of this presentation.
It’s the Board, Stupid – or, Is the Board Stupid?
The Board of non-profits is a beast unto itself. Are you managing it or is it managing you? Are your top volunteers truly giving their gifts of time, talent and treasure? If not, why not? Stories from real life bring the uniqueness of volunteerism to light and ways to manage these “gold bars.”
The View from the Top of the (Bus) Steps
Hear about what those magic three seconds are like when a person with a disability first meets the customer service representative – be that the bus driver or the young person at the counter. Once you get into those sets of paws or wheels, you will more easily “get it.”

Now some 50 years since the landmark Brown v Board of Education and so many other advancing legislation and attitudes from the 50s, 60s and on, do people of color truly have a level playing field? Do those with sexual identities or orientation different then the “norm” have that as well? Where are we now since the landmark civil rights legislation of 1990 called the ADA and its recent redo in terms of the same playing field? Introspecting but with humor, a chat from one who has lived it and continues to.
