Why investing in your organization matters
Many nonprofit board members feel that being a good steward of money means that they shouldn't invest in themselves as a board or organization. In this episode, Nancy and Sarah challenge board members to let go that that scarcity mindset and recognize the value of investing in their organization. They talk about how people are our most important asset, and people need to feel competent and confident to be motivated in the work. They share a tip on how you might know if an investment is a good one. Our word of the week is invest-- did you know "invest" meant "to clothe" in the 16th Century? How are you going to clothe your organization to be out in the world? How steps will you take to ensure these clothes aren't threadbare but durable? Take a listen.

Worker-related rules apply to nonprofits
It can be easy to forget among all of the good work that nonprofits do that we also need to follow the law! In this episode, Nancy and Sarah talk about the rules related to the people delivering our missions. There are work standards, safety and health laws, and workers' compensation rules that nonprofits need to follow. The good news is that there are helpful tools to help you make sense of it all. Consider this one of those episodes as a appetizer to help you know what you need to know more about.
As a reminder, Nancy and Sarah aren't attorneys. This episode and all of the tools they share are for educational purposes only. Please consult an attorney about your specific situation.
