MY SIX YEAR OLD DID THIS DRAWING OF HIS WISH TO VISIT SENATOR KENNEDY AND MAKE HIM FEEL GOOD; HE CONSIDERS SENATOR KENNEDY HIS FRIEND.

I was sadden by the news announcement today of Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts having brain cancer. Today my family prays for him and his family. No matter whether we are privileged to have Senator Kennedy for one year or many years in the future he will always be with many generations to come. He lead in government and he lead in his private life. There are two examples of his giving back to the community that I wish to highlight. When government would not respond the Kennedy’s created Citizens oil to provide fuel to low income families. They created Best Buddies dedicated to providing opportunities for one-to-one friendships and integrated employment to those with disabilities.

I wish to highlight Kennedy as an example to show how much of a difference one person can make. Which organizations or individuals are ready to make CHANGE AND BECOME THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS?

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR A NONPROFITS BOARD AND MANAGEMENT TO INCLUDE SUCCESSION PLANNING AS A COMPONENT OF THEIR STRATEGIC PLAN.
