Community foundations are unique in many ways. Not exactly mission-driven nonprofits, and not a typical financial institution, our organizations can be hard to explain. However, like most companies or organizations, our internal culture and capacity significantly influence our effectiveness in pursuing our external mission. That connection is the focus of our next series: Inside & Out.

This series starts with Shell Berry, President & CEO of the Community Foundation for the Central Savannah River Area in Augusta, GA. She explains how she sent from ballet to business school, and how her experience as an investment banker helps in her current role. Shell then describes how a strategic focus on what they should be doing helped their staff "learn to say no" and how that significantly enhanced their ability to pursue their mission in the community. She offers great insights we can all apply.
