While I sat comfortably at home 82,000 Coloradans lost power due to the weather. Hopefully, this is enough time to complete the application for those who were impacted. Also, this is the number one reason why we shouldn’t wait until the last-minute to turn in an application. Be sure to include systems design in your work 😉. I can help with that. Coaching to manage all the thoughts about time and mindset and other people. Workshops to plan, learn and execute. Group coaching to work with your team.

To meet a growing need, Enfield Food Distribution is working with a multidisciplinary team featuring Cornellians from Cornell Engineering, Cornell University College of Architecture, Art, and Planning, and Cornell University: Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy to design and raise funds for a larger, more welcoming facility. The team's work is made possible thanks to a grant from David M. Einhorn Center for Community Engagement. More at https://lnkd.in/gaWJBwip.

The Small Acts of Community campaign kicks off today. Focused on the belief that small acts of community have great worth - this is something I’m super proud to be a part of. One of the lines of the student oath for taekwondo has always been my favorite “I shall build a more peaceful world.” I have always believed that world starts with the small things and those build up, add up, and inspire others. It was the premise behind my only large scale solo art show (featured about 4000 origami cranes). Today, as part of my professional work, and in joyous activism, we will be asking people to commit acts of community. Could be an act of kindness - say hello, hold a door open. Could be a larger act of community - help pick up some trash, help your neighbor out, volunteer your time with an organization near and dear to your heart. Things that are free and don’t cost a thing. Got some spare money - donate it to a good cause. Before you say but I don’t have any money - as part of the smaller events leading up to today, I was handed $1.23 from the pocket of an obviously unhoused man after taking with him about the campaign and we were told to put it to the community. Think you can’t make a difference? Think again. Check out the Small Acts campaign online at https://lnkd.in/er7jD6GF. Sign it, live it, and start making a difference today!

📍Pantry Collaboration Expands Mission to Fight Food Insecurity📍 Enfield Food Distribution, a vital resource serving over 600 people weekly and distributing 2 million pounds of food annually, has become a lifeline for families, seniors, and individuals in Tompkins County. But operating out of a 1948 firehouse presents significant challenges. To help address this, a multidisciplinary Cornell team is supporting Jean Owens, director of Enfield Food Distribution, in her vision for a safer, more welcoming facility. Experts and students from the Brooks School, Cornell, Engineering, and Cornell AAP, with generous support from the Einhorn Center for Community Engagement at Cornell, are collaborating to develop strategic plans, designs, and fundraising strategies. Among the team members is Courtney Braun ‘25, a second-year MPA student concentrating in nonprofit and public management. Braun is helping Owens with fundraising and coordinating the university collaboration led by Laurie Miller, senior lecturer at the Brooks School and the MPA Program’s associate director for public engagement. Together, they’re working to create a space that will not only provide food but also empower the community through resources like gardens, nutrition classes, and more. ➕Special thanks to all current MPA students and alumni who contributed to this collaboration and Laurie Miller for her immense impact and leadership. 🎥 Watch a 5-minute video and read more about the project below.

The Texas Tribune membership drive is officially underway! As the most widely read publication on Texas policy and politics, our members are critical to our success. They let us know what's working, what's not, and help us gauge what questions to ask. Our members sustain us and are vital to our mission of providing reliable and credible information for free. But as we all know, journalism isn't free. It takes time to develop, verify, distribute, and design stories. Our goal is to provide Texans with the information they need to make informed decisions, understand policy, build businesses, and continue to make Texas even better. We believe in our community and engaging Texans, as well as those interested in Texas. That's why we're aiming for 500 new members during this drive. Will you help us reach our goal?
