October 12, 2012

Dear Members and Friends,

Welcome to our 2012 Annual Meeting. We are excited to be introducing our newly elected Board members, as we conduct our annual meeting with all of you. We also want to take this opportunity to celebrate Oregon’s diverse nonprofit sector. We commend all the “good works” you do every day to build strong, caring communities and a vital civil society sector that enrich the lives of all Oregonians.

It is clear that our sector is finding balance in the new norm. We are now more resilient and creative as we build our capacity to meet the growing needs throughout the state. We are emerging as healthier, stronger organizations that no longer flinch when we hear the economic reports; instead, we think more strategically and build partnerships and collaborations in order to have greater impact. We look forward to discussing ideas on how to further strengthen NAO’s work in supporting the sector.

We hope that the conversations we begin here today will be continued―with your Boards and staff, your volunteers and donors, community leaders who need to know more about the social and economic impact of nonprofits, and elected officials whose decision making affects how we do our work and who we serve.

In the year ahead, we look forward to building our network and strengthening the collective voice of Oregon’s nonprofit sector. We look forward to working in partnership with all of you!

Sincerely,

Jim White Rick Nitti Executive Director Board President AGENDA

About Ted Wheeler During Ted Wheeler’s tenure as a public servant, he has been a leader in protecting the most vulnerable citizens in Oregon’s communities. He has proven that his unique style of independent, innovative thinking and straightforward governing gets things done for Oregonians.

Serving as the Chair of the Multnomah County Commission from 2006 to 2010, Ted proved himself a champion of preventative services. Under his leadership, Multnomah County reduced the cost of government while maintaining safety net programs for the elderly, drug and alcohol treatment programs, and forging partnerships to fund a Mental Health Crisis Center.

As State Treasurer, Ted has made sure his legacy of championing critical services and running an efficient operation continued. He directed efforts to make the State Treasury a more responsible investor and careful steward of state debt, implemented money-saving technologies, strengthened oversight and access to data, authorized securities fraud lawsuits, earned an upgrade in Oregon’s credit rating, and announced a revamped Oregon 529 College Savings Network with lower costs and more options for families. In just two years, Ted has put Oregon on stronger fiscal footing.

Ted’s family came to Oregon in 1852, helping to grow timber towns and coastal communities in Oregon along the way. Ted graduated from Lincoln High School in Portland. He went on to earn a BA in Economics from Stanford University, a Masters in Business Administration from Columbia University, and a Masters in Public Policy from Harvard University. Before entering elected office, Ted worked in the financial services industry for nearly 20 years, including a senior manager at Copper Mountain Trust.

Ted is a longtime community volunteer leader, and has devoted energy to diverse organizations including Neighborhood House, Portland Mountain Rescue, and the Oregon Sports Authority.

Nonprofit Association of Oregon / Annual Meeting 23 JIM WHITE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The Nonprofit Association of Oregon (NAO) is pleased to announce the appointment of Jim White as Executive Director. NAO is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has served the nonprofit sector since 1977 providing training, consulting, and advocacy to enhance the capacity of nonprofits to fulfill their missions. Each year we serve over 8,000 nonprofit professionals from across the state. White, who officially begins on October 8, is deeply committed to social change and has worked in the nonprofit sector both domestically and internationally for more than 17 years. He has a passion for affecting systemic change in the way that the public, private, and nonprofit sectors work together to support and strengthen civil society. Throughout his career, White has worked on some of the most difficult humanitarian and development challenges of our times, in countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, and North Korea. He is specifically skilled on working to build alliances and partnerships so that communities and organizations have a voice in the issues that are most important to them. When asked what drew him to join NAO, White responded, “Oregon is a unique state where we celebrate diverse ideas and diverse cultures. We have one of the most stunning and varied natural environments in the country. We have an engaged and passionate population; people who want to get involved in their community life. I am excited to bring what I have learned in the international context to the concerns, needs, and desires of the people of Oregon. I recognize that NAO is the organization that strengthens those voices and provides the kind of capacity building and leadership training that can have systemic change across the sector and beyond. That is something that I want to be involved with!” Before joining NAO, White worked for Mercy Corps for over 14 years, most recently as the Vice President of Operations. He has also worked for the International Organization for Migration and the American Red Cross. White earned a BS in Engineering Technology from Temple University and an MA in Central Eurasian Area Studies from Indiana University. The Board selected White at the end of a rigorous national search that generated a very large pool of outstanding candidates. Board Chair Rick Nitti says, “We are pleased to have found such a qualified leader and believe that Jim has the vision and skills to enable NAO to become a stronger voice for the sector and advance our work supporting and serving nonprofits statewide.” The Nonprofit Association of Oregon works in partnership with nonprofits, policy makers, philanthropists, and government agencies to ensure nonprofit success. Through training, consulting, executive transition services, and advocacy, the Nonprofit Association of Oregon helps build strong nonprofits which help build strong and vibrant communities.
