Meet the Members of Our 2012 Next Generation Leaders of Color Program

Posted by Cristina Chan on Feb 17th 2012 at 3:24PM
In January, CompassPoint launched the third cohort of our Next Generation Leaders of Color Program (NGLC). At a two-day kickoff retreat, twenty emerging leaders of color from organizations across the Bay Area took an intense, deep dive into leadership and coaching frameworks, management practices, and get-to-know-each-other activities.

Did You Love Your Taxes This Valentine’s Day?

Posted by Anne Ryan on Feb 16th 2012 at 5:09PM

On Tuesday, while you were sending cards and flowers and expressing affection for your loved ones, you were also enjoying taxes.

You were walking on roads built by taxes and eating at restaurants monitored for cleanliness by taxes. And maybe your kids were going to a school supported by taxes. San Francisco City Hall, where San Franciscans sang “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” to Tony Bennett on Tuesday, was paid for by taxes. So here at CompassPoint and NonprofitsTalkingTaxes, we decided to send a little love to taxes with the “Love It, Fund It” campaign.

My Reflections on Tuesday's Prop 8 Ruling

Posted by Nelson layag on Feb 8th 2012 at 2:17PM

 

Tuesday's ruling on Prop 8 makes me reflect on how proud  I am of the work we do and how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with all the folks at CompassPoint and in the community. As an organization, we’ve boldly stated that we WILL achieve social equity together and a moment like this brings to light how important the work is. 

While the fight isn’t over, this was a major victory.  It made me think of something that NAACP CEO Ben Jealous emphasized in 2009 during his Nonprofit Day keynote speech – essentially, the victories in a movement are only possible because those before us took action – he likened it to toppling dominos – that each step will knock down another barrier to the ultimate goal.
