Did you know unchecked management decisions were a big part of the 2008 financial crisis? Families lost nearly $20 trillion in wealth while powerful institutions got bailed out. It’s a reminder that good governance matters—not just for Wall Street, but for all of us on Main Street. Let’s talk about why oversight, ethical choices, and smart leadership make all the difference.

Did you know that every time you deposit money in the bank, you're essentially lending it to them? Your deposits fuel loans, mortgages, and investments that power the economy—right in your community or beyond. Understanding how your money moves isn’t just for bankers; it’s a lesson in how your financial choices shape Main Street’s future.

Leadership is leadership. The fundamentals don’t shift just because the metrics do. But here’s the thing—priorities, pressures, and perceptions in nonprofits and for-profits couldn’t be more different.

If you can lead at a high level within a nonprofit, you can lead anywhere—because mission-driven leadership fosters resilience, engagement, and long-term success.
