The ConnGAP report found that women make up 34.4% of appointments in Governor Malloy's administration, which is 3% fewer than in the previous administration. While the Governor's office cited two additional female appointments that were not included in the report, adding those would also require adding similar male appointments, so it would not change the percentage. The PCSW aims to promote more women for leadership positions to benefit from diverse perspectives. Some progress has been made with several women appointed to head agencies. But the PCSW believes more can still be done to have leadership better reflect the 51% of the population that are women.

Thinking about social affairs through a lens of human agency, and contemporary social problems as a result of a stratification of human agency, may be fruitful.

The Tennessee Economic Council on Women’s 2012 update of its highly regarded county-by-county assessment of targeted economic indicators across the state. The "Status of Women in Tennessee Counties" discusses topics ranging from median income and the wage gap, to educational attainment, healthcare access and standards of living. The first study was done in 2005. In producing this second work, it is very clear that women have made important gains in Tennessee, but it is equally evident that the Council’s role as a research agency focused on women and women’s issues continues to be of vital need.

Discussion Questions:
DiscussNatalie’s concerns and their impact on the Council. How would you weigh their importance to the Council’s operation and mission?
1. Walking the talk: diversity as an in-house issue.
In the Case Study, “Mission or Money” Natalie is faced with an issue that she cannot solve on her own. While Fallsville Economic Council is developing a new mission, she is finding that Frank is not fully committed with neither the new mission nor with trying to understand it. Frank is successful at raising funds for the organization but at the cost of misleading donors on the true missions of the organization.
Changing the mission of a nonprofit organization has become something frequent, especially due to the increase of nonprofit and the competitive nature that it brings along as a result. Worth explains that it is inevitable that an organization evolves as it grows, and it expands its capabilities, noting that an organization should not “mission creep” (176-177). Jerry Kitzi also suggests that new ideas can be assessed on three dimensions: social value potential, market potential, and sustainability potential (Tschirhart and Bielefel 43). Nonprofits are funded by donors and government grants, and in order to maintain many of those donations, market potential is essential. If you do not communicate changes with the public and they are not perceived well, then you risk losing those funds; hence the importance of receiving community alliance.
The Fallsville Academic Council holds an important responsibility to not only the donors that have contributed funds, but also the community it serves. When they decided to change their mission, the Council put forth new expectations. As mentioned by Worth, “the governing board of a nonprofit organization holds ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the organization serves its mission,” (75). While positive results are appreciated, they are not what the Council is being held accountable for. Frank and the rest of the Council seem to be content with not truly pursuing their new mission because they are complacent with the work they’ve already accomplished.
MISSION OR MONEY?MISSION OR MONEY?
Natalie Chen, chair of the Fallsville Economic Council, was preparing for the next board
meeting. The Council had recently broadened its mission from training and placing
disadvantaged workers (primarily minorities) to facilitating their movement into management
positions. Natalie was excited about the potential community benefit of the Council’s new
mission and the opportunity to set a national example.
The Council’s executive director, Frank Baxter, had been a major factor in achieving
program results and corporate support. Over the past few months, however, Natalie not only
began to doubt Frank’s commitment and support of the new mission, but also his
understanding. Natalie was, in fact, convinced that Frank was only giving lip service to the
new mission. Moreover, Frank had continued to.
Societal demographics are shifting: women are amassing and controlling greater personal wealth. Financial Advisors as well as nonprofits need to recognize this shift and understand how women approach wealth management and philanthropy.
