COVID Advice: Act Quickly and Plan for a Marathon

6/22/2020

I have been thinking about the last crisis in 2008, how it impacted nonprofit organizations, and what lessons could be learned. I reached out to several people who I thought would provide good perspective, people who have served on many boards and as funders. In this post, they offer their insights from the last crisis as well as thoughts about this one.

I interviewed in alphabetical order: (See bios below.)

Robbie Bach, former President of the Entertainment and Devices Division at Microsoft and currently a speaker, author, consultant, and nonprofit board member.
Michael Brown, Chief Architect of Civic Commons at Seattle Foundation and a nonprofit board member.
Phyllis Campbell, Chairman for the Pacific Northwest for JPMorgan Chase and Co. and former President and CEO of Seattle Foundation.
Jon Fine, former CEO of United Way King County and currently a board member, professor, and consultant.
