Jackson addresses Community Living Quinte West

On September 22, Public Policy Professor Ted Jackson addressed 100 delegates at the 52nd annual general meeting of Community Living Quinte West in Trenton, Ontario. Professor Jackson’s mother, Ann Jackson, also a Carleton alumna,was a leader in the community living field in the North Grenville area. And his sister is on the board of CLQW. He spoke on the need for non-profits to diversify their revenue sources by mining new veins of “social gold:” high-value assets that take the form of donations, legacy gifts, innovation, technology, leadership and volunteer skills. Especially in a time of turbulence in the world economy, non-profits must work harder to find and deploy these assets as they navigate forward.
