The Rundown - Gone Fishin' Edition - March 24, 2023
A birthday celebration causes us to go on hiatus.
Hello Friends!
The end of this week includes the birthday of my oldest son who turns 16! This is a pretty big birthday for him and what he wants more than anything is to go to Virginia for a few days for a Lego tradeshow. So, we have been busy getting everything ready for a roadtrip east and we are placing the “Gone Fishin’” sign on the newsletter today. Enjoy some of the stuff in our weekly notebook.
If you have anything for the weekly notebook, send us an email at pinnaclestrategiesltd@gmail.com. We have a pretty strong readership across the world — so you never know who will get the information you want to put out.

What Can We Work on Together?
Did you know that Pinnacle Strategies works individually with nonprofit and public sector leaders to help them solve problems, achieve goals and gain confidence in their roles?
Why?
Because, this work is hard and it’s often a lonely road. Our nonprofit and public sector leaders need people that they can talk to to get solid advice and encouragement to do the work that is in front of them. If you feel that this can be of value to you, or a member of your team, please reach out to pinnaclestrategiesltd@gmail.com and let’s talk.
Ready to Learn Something New?
One of the prettiest cities in the Midwest is Indianapolis and travelling there can open a perfect opportunity to sharpen your skills and meet new professionals in the field. I would encourage you to look at some of the offerings of The Fund Raising School at the Lilly School of Philanthropy at Indiana University’s campus in Indianapolis. The professional development school has great programming both on-line and in-person both in Indianapolis and at other sites across the country. Take a look at their course offerings here!
Online Learning Options from Texas A&M Announced
If travelling for professional development isn’t in the cards (or the budget), the Center for Nonprofits at Texas A&M University has some great offerings! I recently enrolled in one of their certificate programs and really enjoyed the online format and the online discussions that were developed. It was time and money well spent and I would highly recommend this program, especially for early or mid-career professionals. The next session begins in early February and you can learn more here!

Our coaching practice has openings and it has been a blast working with nonprofit leaders all across the country! If you are interested in working with me to get your nonprofit organization on a track to achieve the big missions you have, please reach out to me at pinnaclestrategiesltd@gmail.com.
