I just watched the winning video of the non profit film awards on twitter yesterday. It was great! It's all about the stories.

Do you guys think that non profit executives are worth less than for profit executives?

The disparity comes less from np execs than the funders who place inane limitations that business does not have to abide by.

Caitlin McCabe:
that's really funny, I thought the exact same thing when I saw that. Whoever came up with "hey get her behind the bike" should be fired.

What do you think is the greatest thing about being a Gen Xer? For me, it's my cynicism. It has made me a realist.

I think Gen Y and the Millennials are known for their attitude of entitlement. I keep feeling the need to explain workplace ettiquete and common courtesy to some our young workers. On a positive note, they do all get along very well, and want to be friends with everyone they work with, which is a pleasant change from the usual workplace back-stabbing.

Xers in my view tend to see themselves (ourselves) as "on my own," oppose the concept of authority, and tend to have a few trusted friends/family who have really got their back. Whereas Yers are more laid back, tend to have a lot more friends, and also prefer more direction. Millennials to me are like Yers on technology steroids. And Gen Yers and Boomers tend to get along very well at work. (I like Bruce Tulgan's books on the generations at work, they are very insightful and useful.)

Wedge espadrilles or not?
Colleen Dilenschneider
Which is more beneficial: 5 yrs in 1 nonprofit involved in 1 area, or 5 yrs with 3 diff orgs in different areas? Would love your thoughts!
Kevin S. Simpson:
Depends on what your passion is. Many organizations like a person having a passion towards their area of expertise: kids, mental health etc

I think it depends if you know what you want! If not, diversify. If you do, then work your way up in 1 organisation

This is really great! How many kids are hosted per summer? How are the families selected?
The Fresh Air Fund:
The amount of children hosted depends on the amount of hosts we get. We're still looking for hosts for August

@Dan, Are you competitive when you play or do you play more for fun?

Is there a platform which is particularly effective for non-profits (fundraising...)? Mine is using blogspot, personally I use wordpress...
Jessica Dickinson Goodman:
I was confusing: we use Joomla! for our website, but I am finding the blogspot back-end obnoxious. I've used CoActivate: MoreI was confusing: we use Joomla! for our website, but I am finding the blogspot back-end obnoxious. I've used CoActivate: http://tr.im/ryGS

Yes! Foreign horror movie culture is where it's at! And actually, it's where most of today's American horror is getting its inspiration.

totally bending dress code tomorrow and wearing "sneakers" (slip-on Vans) BUT with a collared shirt to even out. anyone else have shortcuts?
Cara Pavelko:
When I bend the dress code rules I always accessorize! I'll wear a really nice chunky piece of jewelry so I look a little more put together.

I am having a hard time dealing with the non profit politics! How do you all fight that beast?
Cara Pavelko:
The problem is having to constantly be sensitive to political connections before I make any moves. I get it-but it's disheartening!

If you're going to spend $50 on a knock off Vuitton, you might as well spend it on something chic from Topshop. Less tacky, more classy.
