Today we’ve got three guests, Julianne Buck, Holly McFarlin and Neosha Franklin - three Directors, from three different Community Foundations.
About Julianne Buck: She is the Executive Director of the community foundation of Grundy County and has been working there for 18 years, since 2003.
About Holly McFarlin: She works for the East Texas Communities Foundation, serving 32 counties for 7 years as the Director of Public Relations.
About Neosha Franklin: She has been working for St. Louis Community Foundation first as Communications Coordinator, then as Marketing Communications Manager and finally, as Director of Communications.
Key Takeaways:
- The pandemic did cause a lot of destruction, but it also allowed a lot of innovation to be done.
- People realized that we aren’t promised forever, we’re living our lives in a short time frame and we have to make an impact while we can. This prevalent realization caused a lot of people to be increasingly generous to nonprofits.
- If you’re willing to help out your community, be involved with your community by researching any community foundations - there might be some around you that you’re not aware of.
- Remain resilient and stay positive!
“You have to support your neighbor if you want to be successful in your community ” - Holly McFarlin
“You have to influence yourself first. If you want people to respond differently, you have to show up differently. You can’t show up the same and expect a different result.” - Maryanne Dersch
