SDSVP Business Operations Resource Team Update - June 2009

Here is a quick update of "what's happening" with the SDSVP Business Operations Resource Team and an idea of some upcoming opportunities:

• Andy Rinde and JoAnne Berg are working with ARTS on a Business Operations Review and several related projects.
• David Johnson is consulting with the Corporation for Supportive Housing on staffing and outsourcing issues.
• David Lynn referred an outside agency, the Community Christian Service Agency, which has requested a board level presentation on "Managing in Tough Economic Times" and "Developing a Vision for the Future".
• A Business Operations Review is planned for mid-July for La Cuna.
• Peggy Kidd has sent information about the Team to several former investees who may need our help.
• Phyllis Huckabee has drafted a terrific Human Resources Capacity Evaluation checklist.
• Joyce Ross assisted Angels with their search for a new Director of Development, including participating in interviews.
• JoAnne Berg is consulting with investees Angels and Elderhelp, assisting in their staff training and financial statement preparation.
• JoAnne Berg made a Board presentation to Angels on "Reading and Understanding your Financial Statements" and met with the Finance Committee of Elderhelp to review their year to date results.
• Bill Hahn is working with LaCuna, providing a top-level CFO type review of their financials each month before they go to the Board.
• Sherri Neasham is coordinating a "forum" of lead partners and resource team heads to meet and brainstorm about what's going on with our investees and make sure that the resource teams are coordinating their efforts.

We have room for many more Partners on our team. If you're interested in getting involved, please email Resource Team Chair JoAnne Berg at joanneberg@gmail.com.
