53: Building A Legacy Organization Through Nonprofit Leadership (Jeff Michael) SUMMARYEvery nonprofit organization has an upcoming anniversary, whether it’s their first, their 150th, or somewhere in between. While simply celebrating an anniversary may not help your organization achieve strategic success, it may well provide a unique opportunity to raise awareness of your organization's history, as well as elevate your vision going forward. That’s exactly what Jeff Michael and I discussed during episode #53 of the Path Podcast. Jeff is the Director of UNC Charlotte’s Urban Institute, a unique and collaborative organization that partners with nonprofit and municipal entities to improve all aspects of the region it serves. Jeff brings great insight not only from his leadership journey, but from how he’s embraced innovation during this time of virtual programming, and utilized his organization’s 50th anniversary to sharpen his vision for future success. He also offers great suggestions for nonprofit leaders on their professional development plans, and how they might partner with organizations like his to make a data-driven case for support that is appealing to funders and to the community at large. ABOUT JEFF Jeff received a BS in Business Administration and a Master of Regional Planning from UNC Chapel Hill, as well as a J.D. from the UNC School of Law. He is often called upon by the media and policy makers to draw upon his professional and personal knowledge of the Charlotte region to provide expert commentary on the economic, environmental and social issues facing the region. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Jeff has played a lead role in the creation of the Institute’s Charlotte Regional Indicators Project, and frequently lends his expertise in land use and environmental law to research projects. He also serves as acting Director of the RENCI@UNC Charlotte Engagement Center. Prior to coming to the Institute in 2003, Jeff served as Executive Director of the Wildacres Leadership Initiative in Durham, as founding Director of The Land Trust for Central NC in Salisbury, and founding Director of the Yadkin-Pee Dee Lakes Project in Badin. He was selected as a William C. Friday Fellow in 1997 and as an American Marshall Memorial Fellow in 2005. He serves on the boards of the Conservation Trust of NC, Wildacres Retreat, and The LandTrust for Central North Carolina, the Advisory Council of the Carolina Thread Trail, and the Trust for Public Land’s Carolinas Advisory Board.EPISODE TOPICS & RESOURCESFinding a University Public Service Institute through CUPSORaj Chetty’s research on economic mobility through Opportunity InsightsRon Heifetz’s book Leadership Without Easy AnswersJames Baldwin’s Collected Essays

Welp, Dru has finally given up on trying to get y'all to tell your mama's about this podcast...so clearly the next logical step is for you to be 'that guy' at work and put us on blast regardless of how negatively your coworkers respond. So good luck with that. This week we dive into poor spacial management via the military (who's really surprised there?), the development behind patchwork communities, and a historic landmark most notably used as a place of freedom. Along the way, we'll run into beer reviews from llamas, potential brewery themes for season two, and Chrissy's inability to remember any of the breweries we've ever visited. So be 'that guy' or don't, but at least grab yourself a beer while you listen - it's five o'clock somewhere!
