HSMC Sponsors Richard Louv at FEE Leadership Institute
"Being on a soccer field is fine. But a soccer field is not nature." So spoke author Richard Louv ("The Last Child in the Woods"), at the Leadership Institute of the Foundation for Early Education (FEE) held February 19 in San Diego and sponsored by HSMC, the Child Welfare League of America, and the Child Development Policy Institute (CDPI). In his presentation, Louv reinforced his point by observing a paradox: the rise in childhood obesity over the last two decades has paralleled the increase in organized children's sports.
The Institute, held over a two-day period, also featured, among many others, Luz Vega-Marquis of the Marguerite Casey Foundation, talking on how to raise money for non-profits in a tough economy; Jeff Bormaster, of the Child Welfare League of America, emphasizing that "you don't work for the board, you are in the driver's seat;" Bob Zimmerman on fund-raising; and author Diane Frankenstein ("Reading Together").
HSMC President Giuliana Halasz is vice-president of FEE, and HSMC CEO Dennis Vicars is president of CDPI.
