Embracing Cultural Competency: A Roadmap for Nonprofit Capacity Builders Paperback – July 10, 2009

Brings a social change perspective to the work of nonprofit capacity building. The stories of practitioners offer thoughtful and even poignant perspectives. The practical resources provided are a value-added.

I bought this book for class and it was good overview and an easy read. The layout makes it easy to get through.

I purchased this for a class in college and only used it once in a while. This is one of my favorite topics to learn about and it helps you look at your own cultural awareness and how that fits into the greater society. I still have this book on my book shelf because I know it's always going to come in handy.

I attended a workshop ran by Beth Applegate this week. I was DREADING it, I have no respect for the idea that creativity can be pounded out of you in an orderly fashion and in a specific short time period. She proved me wrong and I'm now a believer, I saw and felt the results and I'm amazed. It was HER though and her own communication skills that were just as important or even more important as the technique.

I used this for a workshop I facilitated with Public Secotor folks over 3 different days book club style and it was greatly recieved. This is a wonderful resource even beyond the nonprofit sector.

This is a must-read for those of you who want to learn how to discuss issues around cultural competency. Extremely insightful and I found to be very helpful in the workplace. You will use it in almost every aspect of your life.
