What does an ideal community partner bring to the table? It is easy to focus on the programming and funding aspects, but more importantly, ideal partners bring perspective, expertise, experience and alignment. They bring a unique worldview that may challenge entrenched beliefs and paradigms. They are not afraid to dissent. Dissent is a sign of mutual respect when done properly between partners. It tells the other that their opinion is valued and should be heard and considered, especially when partner opinions or methods differ. Healthy dissent is informed, uncovering blind spots and providing protection before a storm has a chance to overtake. A partner who does not have the latitude and respect to dissent is actually no partner at all. The ideal community partners can be hard to come by, but they do exist. To find them requires patience and discernment. Their reputations should precede them. The fruits of their labor should be observable. Their work should reflect their obligation to the community through sustained commitment. But remember, their commitment should align with the organization’s mission to truly make a productive, positive impact.

The5 with Eric Moraczewski welcomes Kyle Ogden, President & CEO of The Thanks-Giving Foundation.  Kyle joins The5 to talk about Building a Profoundly #Caring Community.  Something most, if not all, nonprofits are focused on but maybe aren't always aware of.  Kyle talks about being intentional with gratitude and caring, as well as the Foundation's five key functions of Building a Profoundly Caring Community. Kyle became the President and CEO of The Thanks-Giving Foundation because he wanted to do something important in the bigger civic context, and build something sustainable for the citizens of Dallas. The Thanks-Giving Foundation is a platform that can influence the future of the community, and he believes his contribution of time, effort and resources can make a real difference as an accelerant of positive change. The physical and programmatic enhancements made are being noticed, and he is proud that the vision will deliver a place of importance within the nonprofit landscape. Before joining The Thanks-Giving Foundation, Kyle was the Chairman, President and CEO of Carroll Company. Kyle received a Bachelor of Business Administrations degree in honors business and a Master of Business Administration degree in accounting and finance from the University of Texas at Austin, and went on to earn his CPA license. In his spare time, he enjoy golf, baseball and travel. He and his wife have four adult children.   The5 is a celebration of the work being done by nonprofit professionals, highlighting valuable tips and methods that nonprofits should be utilizing.  The5 is aptly named as NMBL Strategies celebrates our 5 year anniversary.  Host Eric Moraczewski leads guests on a journey of topics that are of deep importance to the guest and discusses how nonprofits and nonprofit leaders can benefit from the experience and expertise. #nonprofit #nonprofits #nonprofitorganization #nonprofitfoundation #nonprofitlife #nonprofitorganizations #nonprofitmanagement #nonprofitsuccess #nonprofitleaders #nonprofitgrowth #gratitude #intentionality
