Looking for a great Christmas gift for the business leader in your life?  Your employees?  Why not give them a copy of my new book, Strategy for Good?  Available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or directly from me below, if you’d like an autographed copy.

Jaki Bent, If Everyone Cares, talked with me about my new book, Strategy for Good: Business Giving Strategies for the 21st Century at the Experts Industry Association annual meeting in Santa Clara, CA. I share with Jaki why I wrote the book and give a brief overview of its contents.

I was thrilled and very grateful that Michelle Nunn, CEO of Points of Light Institute, provided me an endorsement for my book, Strategy for Good, this week.  I have long appreciated her commitment and vision for the power of service and volunteerism!  Points of Light Institute has been a critical national force supporting corporate volunteer programs, providing businesses with training, tools and strategies for designing effective corporate volunteer programs.

“Strategy for Good provides a step by step guide for how corporations can align their unique assets to positively affect communities and impact the lives of individuals. This is an important roadmap for anyone who wants to ensure that the tremendous human capital, resources, and know-how of the private sector is harnessed to maximize social good.“

–Michelle Nunn, CEO, Points of Light Institute

A team of 15 Cox Communications employees from Tucson and other parts of Arizona recently returned from a three-week shift in New Orleans, installing and repairing cable television, hooking up Internet access and restoring phone service to residents hit by Hurricane Katrina. Each member of the team worked more than 10 hours a day, taking only one day off a week, restoring services in 20 to 30 homes a day.
