Message from ARNOVA Executive Director

“Chaos. Uncertainty. Trauma. Worry. These are just a few of the words that come to mind as I consider 2020. Support. Flexibility. Willingness. Understanding. Patience. Those words also come to mind. Clinical psychologists like to tell patients that often two things can be true at the same time; I’ve struggled with the concept for years. Until now. It turns out that it’s partly a matter of perspective; it’s also a matter of what one is feeling in this moment. And, as these things often go, perspective and how one is feeling can change in an instant. It’s true that there are many worrisome issues in the world right now, and in the nonprofit sector; it’s also true that a lot of good folks are working hard to address those issues.”

That’s how I started last year’s message to the membership. I don’t mean to be repetitive, but it feels like it sums up 2021 as much as (if not better than?) it did 2020. Sigh...
