After changing my flight twice #westjet now has me on half hour hold even though it is a callback. Cancelling flight. Going air Canada. WestJet used to be good.

Interim Executive Directoring at Seniors First BC. Loving it! Helping them get out from under COVID including tracking down absentee service providers like @Spincaster and @shawinfo Guess there just isn’t money in helping small nonprofits…

If ‘doing their own research’ meant graduating from high school then getting a science or medical degree then doing a masters and/or doctorate in epidemiology then publishing peer-reviewed research I would be totally cool with that

@danaosiowy Have people claimed it? Though I live with a quilter so we may not need another one...

Chapter 2 of my book on non-profit management: Purpose-driven governance - Why that Board?

[Alison Brewin @Albrewin]

Chapter 1 of Purpose-driven Governance: Why is a non-profit? It doesn’t matter what a non-profit it, it matters why. What you ask is more important than finding the correct answer when a community of people are working together.

[Alison Brewin @Albrewin]

@MHMasonNRF @vantagepnt Thanks Margaret. Is a very sad parting for me. Will still be out and about supporting the sector in different ways.

[Alison Brewin @Albrewin]

Still feeling sad that BC nonprofit sector so invisible to provincial government. Some good announcements, but huge lost opportunity.

[Alison Brewin @Albrewin]

@markalanfriesen Don’t know about you, Mark but that was a depressing provincial budget. $500 million for social purpose business. No commitment to non-profit infrastructure. Heard that 97%or new daycare spots since 2017 have gone to private companies. Sigh.

[Alison Brewin @Albrewin]

Played softball in the nineties with this guy’s grandmother. He is definitely the kind of leader Canada needs right now.

[Markiel Simpson @MarkielSimpson]

It's time for real change. As your Member of Parliament for Burnaby North-Seymour, I will be the strong voice our community needs in Ottawa.

@RubyCampbell @SvendJRobinson @MarkielSimpson It is many years of pattern of behaviour. It is this kind of thinking that puts NDP at risk if - and has experienced - failure at the polls. Old guard leftie need for ‘credibility’. And I was born of the old guard!

This morning, I am introducing an anti-racism motion. As MLAs, we inherit a racist & white supremest history in the legislature. Every day & in all work, we must undue the impact of this and combat the racism that exists today #antiracism #StopAsianHate

[Niki Sharma @NikiSharma2]

What could be better on a Saturday morning than talking about the vital role non-profits play in our society.

Thanks @CivicGovernance @yskevinhuang @vantagepnt @KMillsip for inspiring me this morning!

[Vantage Point @vantagepnt]

ED Unplugged is back! This monthly event with Executive Director, @Albrewin invites #nfp leaders to connect & support each other. Discuss challenges, dilemmas, & questions around a variety of topics of interest and build a network across subsectors. https://t.co/KPxccUEma1

[Vantage Point @vantagepnt]

Highlight in the keynote at #BOSS2021 right now: @HildyGottlieb reflected on how every panel - whether talking about collaboration, equity, financial well-being, transformation - mentioned the importance of trust. We must build trust with each other to strengthen the sector.

[Alison Brewin @Albrewin]

So excited to be doing a workshop on equity and collaboration among non-profits with the indefatigable Zahra Esmail on Equity Day at https://t.co/9j2Qgw173r
