Conversation with administrators at Madeira School. As leaders of our institutions, we need to have strategic vision and global understanding to manage meaningful change. What demographic and philosophical changes make diversity and inclusion an imperative value added rather than a desired additive? What factors help us understand where the school is on the spectrum of exclusive clubs to inclusive organizations? How do we move our communities strategically at the pace that is right for the school? What are some best practices for getting the right people to the school and leveraging their talents? How do we sustain our positive growth over time? Discuss these questions and gather tools to help our schools become the leading edge of cultural competency, inclusion, and equity.

Are German Bonds Safe?
In response to chaotic and falling stock markets many investors are searching for safe havens for their money. In an article by reuters about global stocks there is an interesting note. Investors are buying national debt, Swiss franc, United States, Japanese and German bonds.
nervous investors put more money into low-risk yen, swiss franc, gold, u.s. and german government debt as they await more clues whether the federal reserve and other central banks would provide support to stabilize markets that have been roiled partly due to worries about weakening economic growth in china.
Is this a good strategy? Are Japanese, Swiss, U. S. or German bonds safe? When purchasing national debt one is betting on interest rates and on the relative value of a given currency versus other currencies. If you are going to convert U.S. dollars to Euros in order to buy German debt you want to know the rate of return you will get on your bonds and how well or poorly the Euro will do versus the U.S. dollar.
Euro versus Dollar
According to exchangerates.org.uk there is a downside risk to the Euro.
a strong downside euro trend continues today, after ecb president draghi stated that monetary policy “may need to be reviewed” in the next meeting (march 2016).
exchange rate analysts at lloyds commented on the euro vs dollar exchange rate outlook in the near-term:
“eurusd declined toward the bottom of its range, having printed a low of 1.0778, although it has now retraced some of this move.”

LA BASED NON PROFITS IMPACTING AFRICA DEVELOPMENT.pdfNaomiMbise

Non-Profits are vital in the advancement of communities and they highly contribute to global development. Africa is one of the target locations that Non-Profits such as those based in Los Angeles conduct their work.
