BoC is a Grant Finalist!
GREAT news - we are a finalist for the Goodman's Grant for the Good Guys! We could REALLY use an office makeover...we need a state of the art shipping/receiving area to support our international outreach efforts, chairs for volunteers - with cushions!, chairs for staff (ouch, my back hurts!)....we finally have an office to be proud of in the Metal Arts Village....how cool would it be to get a shiny, brand new office accoutrements - FOR FREE????? Past winners have also received significant press coverage that raises awareness about their mission.
Challenging news - it is another VOTING campaign. It is one vote per email (I asked....and explained that this is not our first participation in a voting campaign....and that creates a loop hole for sure).
Is it rigged? Possibly...as you will read the winner is also judged based on board effectiveness AND public vote. There is no way to tell how we "scored" on the board effectiveness. We also have some tough competition in Tucson - the Children's Museum and Junior League.
Can you HELP? STRATEGY to get the word out to our worldwide members to vote in ADVANCE! Voting goes live March 11th and folks have until March 22 to cast their vote.
Notification received and direct link for voting below:
Congratulations! Beads of Courage has been selected as a finalist in the Goodmans’ Eye for the Good Guys Board Governance Award!
The public will vote for its favorite finalist from March 11 to March 22.
