Q-and-A With Award Winners

How would those close to you describe you? Impatient. Very impatient to get things done. Hopefully that’s not always a bad thing. As I said, I spent seven years living in developing countries, and what I saw on a daily basis left me with an acute sense of how important it is not just to help people, but to do it really well and really quickly. People in need do not have time for us to wordsmith our mission statements or waste time with lackluster fundraising efforts. We have a moral obligation to be extremely efficient and effective at what we do, right this minute.
