From a tragic night, a symbol of hope

by Amy DiStaulo, project consultant, Kennedy King Memorial Initiative

The seed was planted nearly 50 years ago on April 4, 1968, at 17th Street and Broadway Avenue on Indianapolis' east side. Former Indiana state Representative Bill Crawford was there.

There were other prominent Hoosiers there, too, all gathered for a stump speech by presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy.

Just hours before, news had broken that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated in Memphis. Kennedy's speech veered from its original content and became a plea for calm from Indianapolis' black community.

In urging restraint, Kennedy showed passion. He showed leadership. He showed vision. All valuable traits that would show up in others in the nurturing of the seed that would later become the Kennedy King Memorial Initiative.

Four years after hearing Kennedy's speech, Crawford, at age 32, would be elected to the Indiana House of Representatives, a position he would hold for 40 years before retiring in 2011. Moved by King's death and a passion to serve, Crawford dedicated his life to giving voice to those who had none. Read more.


Milwaukee's push to turn vacant land into urban farms

By Stephen Goldsmith, professor of practice, Harvard Kennedy School (2014)

After one of the longer winters in recent memory, the city of Milwaukee is planning to engage in a new kind of rebirth. As the ice melts away, a number of parcels of city-owned land that have long lain vacant and unused will be coming back to life, set to become urban farms and orchards yielding healthy food along with new opportunities for employment and business entrepreneurship.

It's all part of Mayor Tom Barrett's HOME GR/OWN program, a Bloomberg Mayors Challenge finalist whose mission, beyond increasing access to fruits and vegetables, is to turn the city's growing liability of vacant, foreclosed land into an asset: space for new economic activity that helps to stabilize distressed neighborhoods. We recently had a chance to talk with HOME GR/OWN's program manager, Tim McCollow, about the program's launch now that spring appears to finally be on its way. Read more.

Sponsor's insight

Employee training and development:
a valuable investment?

By Jeremy York, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, The Synergy Companies

When managers are asked to scale down their budgets, one of the first line items they cut is employee training and development.

This is especially true in nonprofit organizations where funds are typically scarce and the focus is on the "here and now" -- what must we do today to get the work completed now. This leaves little room for thought on developing employees, much less the funds. What is unfortunate about this reality is that it neglects to consider the costs associated with not investing in employee development.

Recently I stumbled across a Harvard Business Review article titled, "Why top young managers are in a nonstop job hunt." In it, the authors Monika Hamori,Jie Cao and Burak Koyuncu discussed why employees are exiting organizations.

The article noted that many top performing employees do not receive the training and career development they want to grow their skills, causing them to look for other employers that provide such support. The research was based on over 1,200 interviews and surveys with employees across the globe. Read more.
