On this episode of Charity Therapy, Meghan and I are diving headfirst into the tricky world of nonprofit boards. You're not alone if you've ever wondered why your board seems more like a roadblock than a support system. We've got a juicy listener question from someone stuck with a board that feels more like a nagging boss than a helpful partner. Can you just ditch the board entirely? Spoiler alert: it's not that simple, but we're here to help you navigate these murky waters. Meghan and I unravel the tangled web of board-staff dynamics. We know how frustrating it can be when board members overstep, adding more to your to-do list than you can handle. We'll chat about the board's legal duties (in the least boring way possible) and why they can't just sign them away. Plus, we'll offer real-world tips on how executive directors can manage these board relations better, ensuring everyone stays in their lane. And yes, we'll even sprinkle in a bit of Oxford comma drama just to keep things interesting. Whether you're an ED who feels like you're juggling flaming torches or a staff member wishing for a little more autonomy, this episode is for you. We'll explore practical solutions like board training and third-party mediation to help smooth things out. Tune in, laugh with us, and maybe learn how to gently nudge your board in the right direction. And if all else fails, feel free to share this episode with a board member who could use a hint! In this episode, you will hear: Nonprofit boards: the captain's role, steering missions. Can a weak board be ousted? Drama alert: Board overreach vs. staff independence. Legal duties demand balance. Board-staff tension eases with a playful Oxford comma debate. Spicy grammar wars! Boards that delegate too much. Chasing resume clout, not nonprofit passion. Tips for executive directors: Manage board expectations and set boundaries. No more random tasks! Board-staff tensions? Training and a neutral party can help clear the air.

Lead singer Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend has been called a generational voice in indie rock. From the band's iconic first singles “A-Punk” and “Oxford Comma” to their acclaimed follow-up albums “Contra” and “Modern Vampires of the City,” their music defined the mid-‘00s for millions of people. Now, Vampire Weekend is back with their fifth album, “Only God Was Above Us.” Ezra joins Tom in the Q studio to talk about the new record, the early days of the band, and what it's like having Quincy Jones for a father-in-law.

How do YOU feel about the Oxford Comma? Actually, before you answer that, answer this: how do you feel about the platinum-selling debut album from a group of Columbia University preppies dancing around in khakis as they combine punk music with afropop? Think about it... or just push play and listen to US think about.

Don't you wanna get out of Cape Cod tonight? Take a look through a musical kaleidoscope with Vampire Weekend's self-titled 2008 debut, ranked among the best debut albums of all time!

From a Columbia semi-secret society to the halls of a middle school and everywhere in between, learn about the creation of this scrapped screenplay-turned-album! We'll share our EXTENSIVE knowledge of vampires, Mansard Roofs, cod fishing, and the Oxford Comma. The Mixtaper is teaching us all about Parks & Rec's Rashida Jones and her boyfriend, both avid Vampire Weekend fans. And Connor will surprise us all with his judgment and a dark secret that may or may not be true...

this is a comedy ""podcast"" btw believe it or not. It is a joke, it is parody, it is satire. It is not serious; it is not meant to be taken seriously. I do not condone the physical harming or even light harassment of real estate agents in any way shape or form. Do not call, text, or email Jeffrey Doussan or Keller Williams of New Orleans. Do not write funny bad reviews on yelp or google or furnished finder. Do not send pipe bombs or bomb threats to his house or any of his listed properties. I mean it! If you do any of these things you will be banned from podcasts forever. Thank you enjoy the show. Looking at rentals is really fun cuz real estate agents and property managers are some of the most redacted and oblivious people you have to trust with your livelihood. Recently I had scheduled to see a place and the guy no showed, no contact I messaged and emailed him multiple times and 3 days later he texted "apologies out of town." He then proceeds to try to reschedule immediately for the next day at 11am I say can we do 2pm he says no we can't let's do Monday 2pm I say okay Monday 2pm he says great I say great and then he says actually we can do tomorrow Friday 2pm i say perfect cool then Friday at 11am he says you must think we're crazy but we're actually just short-handed can you do monday 2pm and then i showed up today Monday at 2pm and the guy is 10 minutes late, I text the guy and he said "oh Philip's not there?" Philip the minion shows up within 1 minute of me texting, Philip says haha it's good thing our office is right around the corner and he points to a building literally right behind the rental and gives me the dorkiest fcking smile and I want to drown Philip in a puddle. We go to open the door and he doesn't have the right keypad code. I stand around in the rain for about 5 minutes while he calls and texts people and then he's like oh we can just try the other side of the duplex and I asked if the other side is the same layout and price and furnishings and he said no so I said no and so we sat in the rain for another 5 minutes and he finally gets the code and we go in. It looks like the last tenant had just left, all the lights and tvs are on and trash cans full, poop splatters on the toilet and it smells like cat piss. Despite this, I message the property manager that I am interested and would like to move forward with my application and he likes my message and says nothing else. $1400/month. a few years ago, a property manager was stunned that I requested to inspect the house before signing a legal document that said we conducted an inspection and told me I was the first person to ever do so. He addressed me as "Gay bro" in a text and it was never acknowledged $1754/month 440 sq feet #italiano #realestateagent #propertymanagement When you were investing in real estate, I studied the blade. When you were having open houses, I mastered the blockchain. While you wasted your days at the bank in pursuit of equity, I cultivated inner strength. And now that the world is on fire and the barbarians are at the gate you have the audacity to come to me for rent.   It's free! Real estate! We're giving you land! It's free. We're giving you a house. It's real estate. Free. It's a free house for you, Jim. This is free real estate! You gotta bring furniture, but the house is free! Two bedrooms, no rugs. It's free! You unlock the door to your free house, we got you the real estate! It's a two bedroom house, its free, its got a pool in the back. I'm not carrying this around all day! It's for your house! Free real estate, I'll pee my pants. Jim, come get your damn land. It's a free house! Jim, I got real estate. Jim, does it get better than this? Jim! The house is free! Jim! The house is free!

This week on Rational Security, Alan Rozenshtein and Scott R. Anderson were joined by Lawfare executive editor Natalie Orpett and law professor extraordinaire Kate Klonick to hash through some of the week's big national security news, including: “Time to Musk Up.” Prototypical eccentric billionaire Elon Musk has just finalized a deal to purchase Twitter, bring it private and implement a number of changes he claims are intended to expand freedom of speech. What will this mean for the future of Twitter and other social media platforms?“Lvivin' so Soon?” The Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State just finished a visit to Kyiv, where they committed more support and to gradually restaff the U.S. diplomatic presence in-country. Why are U.S. diplomats behind Europe in returning to Kyiv? Should the Biden administration move more quickly?“Too Much MTG Gives Me Headaches.” Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene gave several hours of testimony at a hearing on Friday triggered by efforts by progressive activists to disqualify her from holding office for supporting the Jan. 6 insurrection, pursuant to section 3 of the 14th Amendment. What did we learn about Greene's activities that day? And what should we make of the broader effort to disqualify legislators? For object lessons, Alan endorsed the sci-fi action adventure comedy drama "Everything Everywhere All at Once" and its stirring depiction of laundromats and the IRS. Kate shouted out her decade old "Loose Tweets Sink Fleets" poster and celebrated the fact that it becomes more relevant by the day. Scott announced that his effort to make flavored rotten pineapple water succeeded with flying colors, and encouraged listeners to use pineapple scraps to make their own tepache. And Natalie finally took a stand in support of comprehension and encouraged others to do the same with tee shirts that practically shout one's preference for the Oxford Comma from the rooftops.Be sure to visit our show page at www.lawfareblog.com and to follow the show on Twitter at @RatlSecurity.

This episode features an interview with Jill Stracko, Director of Global Executive and Internal Communications at Uber. Jill's impressive career spans from Washington D.C. all the way to Silicon Valley. Jill led President Barack Obama's writing team in the White House and once served as Senior Legislative Correspondent to then-Senator Joe Biden.On this episode, Jill sits down with Amanda to discuss her 3 principles of Internal Communications: informing and inspiring, connecting the dots, and exclusivity. They also discuss keeping PR and internal comms aligned and their love of the Oxford Comma.-------------------“In terms of how I just personally think about internal communications, there's a couple of principles. The first is informing and inspiring. Making sure that employees understand what's going on because it's easier to do your job if you understand how decisions are being made. And then inspiring. You really want people to always be reminded of why they came to work at this company and why it's amazing. So, always trying to find those stories that remind people of that and show the innovation that's happening around the company, the cool stuff that's happening. The second is connecting the dots. I feel like it's really important as internal communicators and then also helping leaders, making sure that you remind people how their day-to-day work fits into the company strategy and the priorities for the year and the company mission and values. So, that's our responsibility. It's leaders' responsibility. It's our responsibility to help leaders remind employees of that. And then the final thing is exclusivity. Our work should not just be a regurgitation of something that's put out externally on a blog post or in a news story. Internal Communications is different and should be different from external communications. And I like to think of it as, you should get this information because you work at this company. And you're getting the inside scoop, the behind the curtain view, the story behind the story.” – Jill Stracko-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(01:52): Jill's background*(04:12): Jill's 3 Principles of Internal Communications*(06:00): Segment: Story Time*(06:26): How Jill's team rebranded Uber's mission statement*(09:52): Amanda and Jill bond over the Oxford Comma*(11:29): Segment: Getting Tactical*(15:34): How to align internal comms with PR *(19:15): How Jill is keeping employees aligned during remote work*(32:01): Segment: Asking for a Friend*(38:57): Biggest challenge IC leaders will face in 5 years-------------------Links:Connect with Jill on LinkedInUberAmanda's LinkedInwww.simpplr.com/podcast

Have you ever wondered why it's called the "Oxford comma"? We have the answer to that and many more questions you may have about this controversial punctuation mark. Plus, we'll also talk about why it's fine to start a sentence with "and" (and why you were probably taught that it's not).  | Subscribe to the newsletter for regular updates. | Watch my LinkedIn Learning writing course. | Peeve Wars card game.  | Grammar Girl books.  | HOST: Mignon Fogarty | VOICEMAIL: 833-214-GIRL (833-214-4475) | Grammar Girl is part of the Quick and Dirty Tips podcast network. | Theme music by Catherine Rannus at beautifulmusic.co.uk. | Links: https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/ https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/podcasts https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/subscribe https://www.tiktok.com/@therealgrammargirl http://twitter.com/grammargirl http://facebook.com/grammargirl http://facebook.com/grammargirl http://instagram.com/thegrammargirl https://www.linkedin.com/company/grammar-girl

In this episode we spend quite a bit of time examining the comma.This, the smallest of literary squiggles, is also the most important of all squiggles.Not using a comma correctly could have serious implications - it could change the meaning of a sentence. It's one thing when that happens in daily life. Quite another in courts; a misplaced or missing comma could have serious legal implications.In 2006, a dispute in Canada over a comma in a 14 page long contract in a telecom case resulted in a cost of 1 million Canadian dollars.In another case, in the state of Maine in the United States, delivery drivers of the Oakhurst Dairy, were in a legal spat with their employers for overtime. The U.S. Court of Appeals determined that Maine's overtime law was grammatically ambiguous, and for that reason, the drivers won the appeal.The offending sentence was this: "The canning, processing, preserving, freezing, drying, marketing, storing, packing for shipment or distribution of: "The rules of the Oxford Comma—which Pea and I discuss at length in our segment "WHAT'S THAT WORD?!"—state that there should be a comma even before the last item on a list—even with the presence of "and".By this rule, the sentence should have sported a comma between “shipment” and “or”. Such as this: "...packing for shipment, comma, or distribution"Therefore, the court ruled that the absence of the comma meant the phrase “packing for shipment or distribution” was one action.So, grammar is important in law.And if lawyers must be grammatical, then there is a good chance that some of them will be literary. (For the same reason I suppose that many architects are also good designers.)And proof of that is my guest today, Aditya Sondhi. A senior advocate with a Masters in Political Science and he a PhD, by a thesis on the army and democracy.He is an  author of two books, published by Penguin, and he has written two one-act plays—one of which was shortlisted for a prestigious award. Sondhi was also the winner of the Deccan Herald (a Bangalore-based newspaper) short story contest.Who better than he with whom to discuss good grammar?WHAT'S THAT WORD?! - THE OXFORD COMMA.Co-host Pranati "Pea" Madhav joins Ramjee Chandran in the segment titled "What's That Word?"—or titled in whichever way Ramjee  mangles the title—to discover the origins of the most important of squiggles, the humble comma.If you have a word or phrase you would like to explore, join us live on the show.

Curtis discusses the placement of the word “only,” the Oxford comma, vampires and werewolves.

Meet nerds Sammy C. and Aja, as sober as can be, discussing the Oxford comma. Get out your pens, pencils, notebooks, and erasers and get ready to take some notes; these nerds have a serious love for grammar. Sammy C. and Aja realize they have much more in common than not, which is obviously why they are friends, and why the idea of a podcast of arguments doesn't really work... but they are gonna do it anyway. Also in this episode: were they nerds in college?, tattoos they can't commit to, Aja's literal incorrect and over use of the word literally, and a secret offer to the people who ACTUALLY listen to our podcast! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sheetzvwawathepodcast/message

We have no words for the first minute of this episode except… YES SENSEI. The boys open episode 13 with the origin of bread, alternate universes, and what their alternate selves would be before diving into the Weekly Prompt: You have a power to gift people special abilities, but you cannot gift them to yourself. You are a assaulted by gang of bullies who threaten you to give them powers, but little do they know you can add a side effect as well. The subsequent list of side effects prove to be both detrimental and embarrassing. Today's fanfiction takes us deep into the power of punctuation, specifically, the Oxford Comma, and its ability to completely change the context of a story. Continuing the conversation of parallel universes, the boys dive into Who Gives an F about the Oxford Comma? by author pandamug, which details the importance of that tiny little comma when presented with the items: “The Strippers, JFK, and Stalin” versus “The Strippers, JFK and Stalin”.
