Business on Purpose: A Virtual Session on Social Impact & Responsible Entrepreneurship happens a week from today! Link: bit.ly/biz-on-purpose-jan (Photo by Luke Webb)

Our work is guided by something deeper than check lists and templates; we're always looking inward to reflect and outward toward community. Thinking of everyone working for justice and compassion during these times - we're not giving up.

Read @vickipozzebon.bsky.social latest for @npquarterly.bsky.social :

Vicki's latest for @npquarterly.bsky.social

Keeping it local for the holidays doesn't have to be hard! Think about your community first and get creative:

Australia holds a special place for us (Vicki lived there/our recent article featured the social sector there) and we spent time checking in with Aussie friends/family this week. While no one we know was personally affected by the horrific shooting, we are *all* impacted by this event, of course 🕯️😔
