Volunteering as a Fashion Statement
NPT Power & Influence honorees show how community service can power a nation
Service is the new black. It’s so fashionable that those leading the national service movement have packed the catwalk of The 2009 NPT Power & Influence Top 50. Whether it’s military conscription, stipended service or traditional volunteering, community building is the core of the sector these days.
Of course, a trashed stock market and worldwide recession have much to do with how the charitable sector operates, making those volunteers all the more valuable.
Executives who mobilize the masses for good and who manage their resources while blazing a path for others to follow make up the Power & Influence honorees this year. Executive turnover in the sector is evident in the list.There are 18 executives making their P&I debut this year and one executive returning after a few years, the largest turnover during the 12-year history of The NPT Power & Influence Top 50.
Making selections to The NPT Power & Influence Top 50 is not scientific. It’s based on nominations from editorial staff of The NonProfit Times, its contributing editors, suggestions from former nominees and a few selected, plugged-in people. It’s also intended to ensure that most disciplines within the sector have a representative. For example, this year the selections were weighted toward public service but the vital technology segment of the sector is also represented. There were more than 250 nominees this year,which is routinely the case.
In this 12th annual NPT Power & Influence Top 50,we celebrate some of the sector’s top executives and thinkers. These executives were selected for the impact they have now and for the innovative plans they are putting in place to evolve the charitable sector. We also offer a roll call of the executives who have shaped this listing and the sector in the Hall of Fame section.
The P&I honorees will be feted for their work at The NPT Power & Influence Top 50 Gala next month at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. It will be a night of high-level exchange between executives who can move a nation.
