The NYC Sustained Global Impact Community of Practice (COP) is a new forum launched in October 2016 for professionals in New York City working in international development and global social impact to share ideas, lessons learned, and collaborate on solutions. The COP aims to connect traditional actors like the UN and non-profits with consultants, social entrepreneurs, academics, and the private sector. Meetings feature speakers on topics like organizational sustainability and design thinking to foster lasting impact. Membership is open to experienced practitioners interested in ongoing knowledge sharing and collaboration across sectors.
Beyond Vanity Metrics: Toward better measurement of member engagementMobLab
We all want to know if the work we do is making a difference. But while "vanity metrics" such as list size or pageviews sound big and impressive, they can be misleading. Ultimately, they can lead to flawed decisions that doom membership-driven organizations.
What are the pitfalls of “vanity metrics”? Why do we rely on them? What are some alternatives? In short, are there better ways to measure how engaged members are with your organization?
These are just a handful of the questions tackled in the new report, “Beyond Vanity Metrics: Toward a Better Measurement of Member Engagement,” presented by Citizen Engagement Lab and the Mobilisation Lab at Greenpeace.
http://www.mobilisationlab.org/mobilisation-tools/beyond-vanity-metrics/
The Rockefeller Foundation has long recognized the importance of meaningful engagement of the private sector in addressing many of the world’s most complex problems. While many social sector leaders understand that engaging the private sector matters, far fewer understand how to do so, or the key questions one should consider before starting down this path of cross-sector collaboration. For instance: Why would a network want to include a company? Or conversely, why would a company want to participate in a network focused on social impact? Can social impact efforts deliver business value? What makes network relationships durable? And ultimately, what are the different needs around accountability, leadership, governance and mindset? To answer questions such as these, The Foundation and our partners at Monitor Institute, a part of Deloitte Consulting LLP, have created “PARTICIPATE: The power of involving business in social impact networks”—a handbook for social change leaders aspiring to effectively engage the private sector as authentic participants in the pursuit of social impact.

Check out pro bono and skills based volunteering resources from Taproot Foundation and Volunteer Fairfax for the corporate employee and nonprofit partners. This type of volunteering is a growing trend, so we welcome local businesses and nonprofits who have had various levels of experience. Through the discussion of real life examples, implementation processes, successes and challenges both nonprofit leaders and corporate representatives will gain an understanding of how to engage in this type of programming.
More Than Just a Meeting Place: Leveraging online tools for actionifPeople
More than just a meeting place, the Internet is a tool for online collaboration. This presentation goes beyond using the web as a networking tool and looks at how to leverage online tools to get people to work together effectively. Presentation by ifPeople cofounders Christopher Johnson and Tirza Hollenhorst at the Pegasus Communications "Systems Thinking in Action" conference in Seattle, WA in November 2007.
Many networks organize governance and operations with structures that mirror those of organizations: governing boards, committees, and operations staff. Unfortunately, these structures have often been a bad fit with networks, leading to decreased involvement and engagement by network participants who aren't on the governing board and shrinking network size and impact.
More and more networks are experimenting with and co-creating innovative network governance and structures that are self-organizing, encouraging and supporting the formation of collaborative circles for many or all of the operations and coordination functions of the network.
June Holley will share examples and offer several checklists and strategy worksheets to help your network determine if these new structures might be appropriate for them.
Methods and Techniques for Community Engagement Dr. John Persico
Some ideas to help foster community engagement in the City of Minneapolis. My partner and I had a contract for two years to help the CIty implement a Community Engagement Process. We developed, tested and deployed a model for CE and also designed some training to support the role out of the model.
What can our elected officials do today to ensure the vibrancy of our communities in the future? George Cuff understands that we must have creative leaders who are focused on the “where to from here” as much as the “here and now.” George has been described by monthly municipal magazine, Municipal World, as the “governance guru” of Canada. He has been involved with local government since the 1970s, with experience at the administrative level and as an elected official, having served four terms as the Mayor of Spruce Grove, Alberta. George’s consulting firm, George B. Cuff & Associates, provides specialized consulting services to the public sector, including governance reviews, trouble-shooting, and training of elected officials. The catchphrase “getting Cuffed” has even been adopted to describe his candid style of advisory services. George will describe the importance of creative leadership; outline the key challenges facing local government today; and explain how innovative professionals can play a role.

STC’s Ethical Principle for professionalism asserts: “We advance technical communication through our integrity and excellence in performing each task we undertake.” Professionalism, however, does not stop at the front door of the workplace. By virtue of their privileged status in society, professionals have a moral obligation to give back to the public a portion of their time and energy in order to improve the quality of life for all people. This presentation explores the similarities and differences between for-profit and nonprofit worlds in order to uncover opportunities for professional technical communicators to give back. By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to describe the nature of nonprofit organizations; list some characteristics of nonprofit communications; and explain the content, form, and style of the conventional genres of nonprofit communications.

NYC
Sustained
Global
Impact
Community
of
Practice
Who
are
we?
The
NYC
Sustained
Global
Impact
Community
of
Practice
(COP)
is
a
new
forum
for
sharing
ideas
and
issues
in
the
international
development
and
global
social
impact
space.
Think
less
networking,
more
collaboration.
Launched
in
October
2016,
we
tap
into
the
unique
mix
of
professionals
and
organizations
working
here
in
New
York
City
on
global
sustainable
development.
This
includes
traditional
actors,
such
as
the
United
Nations,
nonprofits,
and
NGOs,
plus
consultants,
social
entrepreneurs,
academia,
and
the
private
sector.
As
international
development
professionals,
our
bottom-‐line
goal
is
to
create
impact
that
endures.
We’re
not
alone
in
that.
And
with
such
a
diverse
community,
we
want
to
create
new
connections
and
cross-‐pollinate
approaches,
lessons
learned,
and
impact
for
lasting
results.
Each
meeting
features
a
speaker,
panel,
or
voice
from
within
the
group
focused
on
knowledge
sharing,
problem
solving,
case
studies,
and
innovative
tools
and
technologies.
The
group
is
highly
participatory
and
members
are
encouraged
to
view
each
session
as
a
platform
for
both
sharing
and
listening
to
viewpoints,
insights,
challenges,
opportunities,
and
solutions
in
the
international
development
and
global
impact
sector.
Who
is
this
for?
If
you
are
working
fully
or
partly
in
the
international
development
or
global
social
impact
sector
and
genuinely
want
to
share
ideas
and
address
challenges
across
this
community,
then
this
group
is
for
you!
As
a
COP
member,
you
are
an
experienced
and
active
practitioner
in
this
field.
You
are
someone
with
a
broader
view
of
your
role
in
the
sector
beyond
your
specific
expertise
and
your
work.
We
talk
with
all
prospective
members
beforehand,
so
if
you
or
someone
you
know
might
be
a
great
fit,
reach
out
and
we’ll
schedule
an
introductory
meeting
/
call.
Let’s
build
this
together
This
is
an
interactive
group.
We
want
your
input
as
we
continue
to
grow.
*
We
are
always
looking
for
speakers:
reach
out
to
be
a
speaker
or
share
a
recommendation.
*
Pass
it
along!
Feel
free
to
share
this
announcement
with
other
like-‐minded
professionals.
We’re

or

More
about
the
NYC
Sustained
Global
Impact
Community
of
Practice
What
do
our
ideal
members
do?
What
do
they
care
about?
This
community
is
a
curated
group
of
professionals
who
currently
work
in
this
space
(not
those
who
are
aspirational).
Members
are
interested
in
joining
and
being
active
in
an
ongoing
community,
not
just
attending
a
one-‐off
session
on
a
thought-‐provoking
topic.
The
core
theme
across
our
members
and
speakers
is
that
we
focus
-‐
or
want
to
increase
our
focus
-‐
on
making
a
lasting
impact
in
our
international
work.
In
other
words,
how
do
we
employ
traditional
and
emerging
ways
of
looking
at
international
development
to
have
a
more
sustained
impact?
Topics
focus
on
how
we
work:
organizational
systems
analysis,
financial
sustainability
of
local
organizations,
organizational
development,
how
to
move
from
awareness
to
engagement
to
implementation
(The
UN
Sustainable
Development
Goals
reflect
this
-‐
lots
of
talk,
but
how
will
we
move
to
measurable
and
sustainable
action?),
sound
program
design,
moving
from
donor/recipient
mindsets
to
partnership,
etc.
We
also
explore
how
we
think:
design
thinking,
radical
listening,
storytelling,
and
other
methods
that
examine
the
relationship
between
how
people
see
the
world
and
how
that
affects
the
way
we
all
work
within
it.
We
are
very
purposeful
about
bringing
the
NYC
landscape
into
the
mix.
There’s
such
a
different
character
to
development
and
impact
here
than
say
DC
(all
policy,
all
the
time),
but
we
think
it
can
be
channeled
and
cross-‐channeled
more
effectively.
The
UN,
social
entrepreneurs,
academics,
nonprofits,
and
private
corporations
have
interactions,
but
largely
operate
in
their
own
worlds.
And
this
is
a
true
Community
of
Practice,
which
is
not
really
about
networking
(though
that
is
often
a
by-‐product),
but
more
about
peer-‐to-‐peer
learning
among
members
and
likely
paving
the
way
for
collaborative
initiatives.
Who
are
our
founders?
The
Community
of
Practice
was
created
by
Elle
DiLorenzo,
a
Consultant
/
Advisor
at
Designing
Programs
for
Lasting
Impact
(www.enduringimpact.org),
specializing
in
program
management
and
advising
like-‐minded
organizations
on
how
to
design
programs
and
initiatives
that
last,
and
Rich
Fromer,
who
is
Managing
Director
at
LINC
(www.linclocal.org),
an
international
development
firm
rooted
in
systems
analysis.
Why
join
us
as
a
speaker?
There
is
no
financial
incentive
available
for
speakers,
so
the
impetus
would
be
exposure
to
the
membership.
As
well
as
a
platform
to
share
ideas
and
challenges
and
gain
feedback
from
this
community.
We
expect
the
speaking
engagements
to
be
less
like
lectures
and
more
two-‐way
dialogue.
We’re
looking
for
speakers
and
members
that
are
truly
committed
to
moving
this
sector
forward
in
a
tangible
fashion,
so
collaboration
opportunities
outside
of
the
group
are
quite
possible
as
well.
Speakers
don’t
need
to
live
in
NY
to
join
us.
If
you
will
be
travelling
to
the
New
York
City
area,
let
us
know!

a
system.
In
this
session,
we
will
discuss
the
uses
of
SNA
for
development,
the
methods
for
conducting
SNA,
and
a
case
study
example
drawn
from
Rich’s
work
in
the
field
with
his
company,
LINC.
Understand
and
Practice
Storytelling
in
an
Advocacy
and
Development
Context
Humans
are
hard
wired
to
understand
the
world
through
narrative
–
and
it’s
been
going
on
since
fire
was
discovered.
Now,
everyone
is
telling
stories,
24/7,
across
gazillions
of
platforms
and
channels.
Storytelling
is
a
buzzword
and
it’s
almost
impossible
to
hear
a
clear
signal.
Deborah
Brozina
of
Making
Change
will
guide
you
thorough
a
structured
approach
to
storytelling
within
the
advocacy
and
development
space.
She
will
show
her
approach
to
identifying
the
characters,
plot
and
action
that
make
up
your
narrative.
And
with
that,
you
can
focus
your
attention
and
effort
where
it
works
and
drop
the
stuff
that
doesn't.
Design
Thinking:
Hone
your
Mindset
for
Empathy
and
Impact
Design
Thinking
has
entered
the
mainstream,
being
used
throughout
the
development
and
impact
sector,
as
well
as
academia
and
the
corporate
world.
But,
what
is
it
really
all
about?
And
how
can
we
use
it
to
better
inform
the
work
we
do
and
how
we
relate
to
others?
In
this
interactive
workshop,
Elle
DiLorenzo
of
Designing
Programs
for
Lasting
Impact
will
guide
you
through
an
overview
of
design
thinking
and
explore
DT
exercises
to
help
you
understand
yourself,
your
audience,
and
your
approach
to
problem
solving
for
impact.
