My ultimate goal is to make an impact to the emotional welfare of our country. I look forward to studying more about this major.

    Community Food Bank Reflection

    Spelman College’s motto, A Choice to Change the World, mirrors my goal as a member of this intellectual community. During my first year at this institution, I dedicated myself to several hours of community service. I found that this was a vital part of my intellectual growth as both a student and person within society. This year I volunteered for several nonprofit organizations, however I dedicated most of my time to the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Before volunteering for this organization I was not quite sure how I would be able to make a significant difference in my community. However, when I volunteered for this organization, I was able to tremendously help people in Atlanta. Likewise, this experience opened my eyes to the increasing…

    Governance in Non-Profit Healthcare

    Good leadership, financial management, and governance are the essentials for success in any organisation, whether the organisation is a non-profit organisation or a for-profit organisation. In non-profit healthcare the seamless interaction of all the parts makes the organisation successful as a whole. Service provided must be consistent with the goals of the organisation. Agencies and watchdogs have become even more visible seeking accountability and transparency. But how do leaders within the organisation work together to make it a success, how are they governed to achieve the goals of the organisation? In for-profit effective governance is easily recognisable, and achieved. The most important element in an organisation that operates for profit is its balance sheet, great sales and rising stock prices, profits being paid out as dividends, no mention of fraud in the company accounting, these are all excellent indicators of effective governance. In non-profits more so in healthcare, it is terribly difficult to measure or see effective governance. Also, the idea of optimum efficiency may have differing connotations for each stakeholder. Non-profits benefit from the luxury of not having to suffer agency conflicts; nevertheless they must ensure that there are measures in place that ensures transparency. Based on the five (5) overarching strategies suggested by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, I will endeavour to prove that the Dimensions Health Corporation utilizes most if not all these strategies.…

    Yet, the various organizations at Austin College sparked my interest, and slowly but surely I began to get involved.

    Nonprofit Budgeting Process

    The budgeting process for nonprofit organizations can be very interesting. Good nonprofit leaders ask for input before finalizing a nonprofit’s budget. One reason to ensure everyone has a voice in the budget process is because at the end of the day everyone will own the final budget. By owning I mean everyone will be held to the budget that is approved so it makes sense to get everyone involved in the process. It makes sense for staff to request their own expense increases or decreases because no understands the true needs of a department or part of an organization like the person in charge of it. If a nonprofit leader can justify an increase they should be given an opportunity to plead their case. If the increase is approved or denied at least…

    Health Field Paper

    As a youth group member, I was lucky enough to get the chance to go to New Orleans in the summer of 2011. During my stay, I was able to help others in a way that changed my life. When I was helping serve food, picking up trash, and helping to restore a church, I looked at children and families who were receiving that help. Their faces were priceless. It was like they won the lottery. Helping young and old, children, and families who were less fortunate than me, made me realize that I want to help people in some way when I grow up. That’s what made me want to pursue a career in health education after I graduate.…
