One reason why I will be going to ASU Ucent for First Friday...perhaps make an offer on some fantastic artwork?

Or, better yet, come to the 4th Urban Gallery Exhibition from 6 to 10PM on April 3 to see the beautiful, powerful, storytelling artwork yourself. I'll be here, it's the second floor of my building!

• Build and grow relationships with and among your nonprofit and it's stakeholders
  
• Increase the visibility, credibility and connectivity of your staff to community stakeholders

This blog is about being a young nonprofit professional - one of the roles I play in this life.

A little bit about me. In addition to walks in the park and rides on the trails, I like meeting friends and making connections. I truly enjoy talking with passionate, hard working people about how to make our world a better place - yes, I know that is tres nonprofit nerd!

I am from Michigan, and after six years I consider the Valley my home and count friends and colleagues among both the non and for profit communities. I think this community has so much to offer on a wide variety of fronts - personally, professionally, recreationally, etc - and I am a big promoter of Metro Phoenix life (and also a vocal critic of poor policies and governance).

My work includes two and half years selling pharmaceuticals to veterinarians, six years at Valley of the Sun United Way in development and a Master of Nonprofit Studies from Arizona State University. I joined the ASU Lodestar Center in January of 2009 to begin developing programming for the Advancing Philanthropy initiative.

I am married to my lovely wife Beth, Director Organization Development at Banner Health and we have one son, Omar, five. We have two dogs and two cats - all from rescue organizations. We have a lot of fun together!

My personal goals include working to understand others, creating connections and building a strong social fabric. I think nonprofit organizations play an incredibly important role in providing opportunities for individuals and families to lead the happy, successful lives of their choice. I think most people want to be happy, healthy and self sufficient without getting ripped off by someone in more power. Building community seems an important contributor to happiness and so that's one thing I like to do.

I also like plants and taking mobile phone photos.

I hope you will return on a regular basis to read my and my friends musings on a host of topics related to building happy healthy communities of happy healthy people. I look forward to your thoughts and comments.

Best regards,

Aaron
