Pop quiz: Raise your hand if you get paid to engage the community’s hearts, minds, and resources to advance your nonprofit’s mission and make the world a better place.
Your hand is just as high whether you’re a fund development or a volunteer engagement professional. So why are our jobs so siloed? Better yet: What might happen if we tiptoed out of our siloes and planted a flag in the big, overlooked crossroads between our two worlds?
A whole lot of good, say trend-watchers and data crunchers in both industries. They also say we might not have a choice. Current trends in how Americans give time and money are quickly eroding the wall between our two worlds – whether we like it or not.
In this presentation we’ll dig deeper into two of those trends and see how you can turn them into opportunities for good. This presentation was part of a breakout session during GRAVA’s 2015 Annual Conference: “Volunteer Management Trends Transforming the Profession” (July 9, 2015).

IoF National Convention: Claire's Legacy - The tragic death of Claire Squires...JustGiving
On 22nd of April 2012, one of Samaritans' marathon runners died a mile from the finish line of the London marathon. In the days following there was an unprecedented public reaction to Claire's death with over 80,000 individual members of the general public logging onto Claire's JustGiving page and donating to Samaritans in her memory. The reaction and aftermath of Claire's death was never something that could have been planned for, but her story has impacted Samaritans enormously and provided the organisation with a lot of learning's and new ways of working, what we could have done differently, how we could have been more prepared, how should we communicate to our donors.
We originally created the 'OWN YOUR RAISE' Fellowship for Female Founders to solve some of the unique issues women founders face when it comes to raising money: lack of access to knowledge and investor networks and a need for greater confidence and executive leadership growth in scenarios where they are often the only woman in the room. But this program is now so much more: it's a safe space where Fellows can be inspired by and champion each other, connect and build on their leadership & fundraising strategy, and execute & celebrate their many milestones together.
A simple invitation to lunch by a new member to our Rotary Club resulted in life-changing empowerment for nearly 5,000 women in Togo, West Africa, as well as This One Woman.

This is one of my favorite times of the year and
not necessarily for the reason you might think.
Of course, I love the Holidays! But in the context
of our CBIZ Women’s Advantage Program, this
time of the year allows me to both look back on
all of our successes in 2013 (enjoy our pictures
and notes on our recent networking and our
annual national community outreach events)
and, at the same time, become excited for all of
our projects, plans and pilots for 2014. There is
so much discussion these days surrounding the
importance of “solidarity of women” to the
development and advancement of women.
At CBIZ, I am convinced

primarily work with women refugees and
victims of domestic violence and trafficking.
“These women come from a culture where
the ‘outside of the home’ value of women is
not recognized,” informed Joy. A large part of
what JVS does is help these women integrate
into the community by providing services and
working with a variety of agencies to help
them better understand and navigate through
these experiences. “It is amazing to see
women who have not experienced the
opportunities we are accustomed to thrive
socially and economically in our community,”
continued Joy.

During a meeting recently with CBIZ CEO and
Chairman of the Board, Steve Gerard, he reminded me that our first and most important goal for
CBIZ Women’s Advantage is the professional
development and positioning of our CBIZ

Stefanie Cavanaugh: Empowering Women
It’s easy to see why Rick Jenson, Managing
Director, CBIZ Valuations Group, Dallas, thought
Stefanie Cavanaugh was an outstanding candidate for the CWA Client Spotlight.
Stefanie, Senior Vice
President of Harden
Healthcare, an ancillary
services organization
specializing in senior
care, is passionate about
giving back and empowering women in the financial arena. As a teenager,
she joined her mother as
a volunteer at the San
Antonio Women’s Credit Union (SAWCU), an organization designed to help women establish and
gain credit. She kept the books and learned the
financial operations of the organization. “I develStefanie Cavanaugh
oped my love for finance during those early years
and found my first CPA mentor at SAWCU. I
watched an amazing group of professional women help their sisters gain financial independence,” commented Stefanie.
After college and five years in public accounting
she joined the San Antonio Symphony as CFO.
Thriving in the small environment, Stefanie
gained experience in all facets of managing the
financial operations. She spent 10 years at
Encore Medical Corporation as the Controller,
learning about Health Care Finance and the
medical device industry, and helped lead the
organization through rapid growth in revenue –
$35 million to almost $1 billion. Sarbanes Oxley
became effective and increased the demands on
public companies dramatically. Both these
changes meant growth for Stefanie and her
team. She began to mentor other accountants,

From Counting Calories to
Counting Pounds –– The
Journey of Fiona Hotston Moore
Supported by her husband and two children,
Fiona Hotston Moore is a partner at Top 30
UK Accountancy Firm Reeves and London
resident by week; and a wife, mother and late
15th century farmhouse resident by
weekend. Her professional journey and
support for quotas for greater diversity in the
workplace and on boards is inspiring and
empowering!
Originally qualified as a Dietician and
Nutritionist, Fiona quickly made a career
change to train as a Chartered Accountant
with KPMG. In 1990, she had identified a
“glass ceiling” within the organization and
joined a smaller entrepreneurial accountancy
firm, where she became a partner by the age
of 30. Next, she joined MRI Moores Rowland
partnership, where she was appointed
Managing Partner and was the only female
Managing Partner in the Top 30 practices.
She then led the merger of that practice and
in 2012 decided to move back into a more
entrepreneurial practice, Reeves, where she
is today.
Fiona appears regularly in the media as an
enthusiastic supporter of having quotas for
women at the board level. “I have published
numerous articles and have also spoken on
TV, on the radio and in schools and at
universities on the need for greater diversity
on boards and generally in the workplace. I
have been pushing for temporary quotas in
the absence of real progress without
intervention. I believe conscious and
unconscious bias is the main obstacle to
diversity in boards and more generally in
leadership” stated Fiona.

To support this effort,
Fiona co-founded the
Accelerated Board
Attainment (ABA) which Fiona Hotston
is aimed to help equip Moore
women with the tools to seek and obtain
leadership positions. Fiona was also a
member of the “Narrowing the Gap”
committee of the Institute of Chartered
Accountants in England and Wales, working to
encourage more women to seek and succeed
in leadership roles. Fiona noted, “Diversity
eliminates group think, promotes
sustainability, creativity and resilience in
international organizations.”
For her impressive efforts in this area, Fiona
has received various awards, including being
the winner of the “Woman Leader in Finance”
in 2012, “Accountant of the Year” in the City
Awards 2007 and Number 49 in the
“Accountancy Age 2013 Financial Power List.”
“It’s important for women to identify mentors
and supporters both internally and externally
and that you have confidence in your abilities.
Women tend to assume they need 120% of
the job specifications to apply for a role,
whereas men are happy to push themselves
forward knowing they may only have 60% of
the attributes, but confident they can step up
to the job” concluded Fiona.

journey to better diversify the workplace,

New social
media tools
emerge daily,
prompting
improvements
and changes to
the other, more
classic, social
sites in order to Amanda Markos
compete.
However, a tool that continues to
compete with the industry leaders is
SlideShare.
Slideshare is a public sharing site
which allows professionals and
businesses to upload presentations,
whitepapers, brochures and videos
to “share” with the world. By doing
so, users can expand their sphere of
influence, increase brand awareness
and generate leads. Users also
benefit from the infographic feature,
allowing users to upload and share
graphic or visual representations of
information or data, otherwise
intended to present complex
information, quickly and clearly.
Last, SlideShare is FREE, unlike
other social media channels that
push advertisements and paid
updates. While SlideShare does
have some paid business features,
users receive the same benefits of
sharing and downloading material at
no additional cost.
In 2013, CBIZ Inc. received over
94,318 views to our documents,
377 downloads and 32 leads. For
more information or questions on
SlideShare capabilities, contact
