Martin Lehfeldt, former President of the Southeastern Council of Foundations, posted a new message on the Philoptima website (http://www.philoptima.org) addressed to donors and foundations suggesting that we should be giving careful consideration to where our future leaders in philanthropy are coming from. He suggests the new skillset is more than just knowing how to make and evaluate grants but how to relate to community, board and the more subtle dynamics of vision. Read what Martin has to say under "Martin's Column" from our home page and catch what Dr. Harrell has to add to the discussion among the responses.
