The Non-Profit Road September 11, 2009, by Peter Mirus in Coaching
My fondness and sympathy for non-profit concerns stems primarily from the sacrifice that my parents exhibited throughout my formative years, and to the present. Legitimately interested in changing culture and society for the better, both my mom and dad have been active parents and educators. Both were always very sensitive to charitable concerns, contributing to worthy causes even in times of financial hardship. My father cofounded a non-profit institution in 1977, and founded another on his own in 1985. Both are thriving today.
My personal experience in non-profit ventures has not only been through board membership, employment, and volunteer work, but also by addressing the needs of various non-profit clients.
Over the years I have been privileged to serve non-profit clients working in a variety of areas, including Higher Education, Medical, Aerospace, Broadcast Media, Publishing, Retail, Family Advocacy, Insurance, Political, and Religious.
Non-profits are needed. They make a difference in our communities, our religious institutions, our medical centers, our businesses, our families—our lives. I have done my best to honor my non-profit clients by giving that little bit extra to help them succeed.
