Annual Campaign Update with United Way of Door County's Amy Kohnle

December 28th, 2023 10:00am
Behind every great organization, you will find a dedicated team behind the scenes helping it go. That is especially true for non-profit organizations, where as much as 35 percent of the money they raise goes towards overhead costs, according to 501( c ) Services. Some of these costs cover the day-to-day business operations that non-profit organizations incur. According to Charity Watch, organizations are considered highly efficient if they dedicate at least 75 percent of their funds to direct programming costs. This is important for potential donors who use such statistics to make decisions so they feel comfortable with how far their donation will be stretched. United Way of Door County Executive Director Amy Kohnle is proud of her staff members and volunteers who help ensure that 89 cents on the dollar gets funneled right back into the community they serve.

Leading with Care with Dr. Phil Clampitt

July 21st, 2023 12:00pm
UW-Green Bay professor and Fish Creek resident Dr. Phil Clampitt believes you may have to change your leadership style to adapt to your evolving workplace. Gallup recently reported that 15 percent of employees in the United States are truly engaged in their workplace, adding that they would work harder if they felt more appreciated. It is a trend that started well before the pandemic sent many employees to remote roles within their organizations. It was those realizations that led Clampitt to join forces with Bob DeKoch to write the book Leading with Care in a Tough World: Beyond Servant Leadership. We explore the book and some of its concepts in this interview.
