My wife took me to the Center for Excellence in Nonprofits 20th anniversary celebration tonight. http://www.cen.org At the end of a great evening, I got to meet CEN's founder, Dean Morton.
The SF State MBA program hosted two days of training on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), March 19-20. Trainers Carrie Christopher and Jeff Leinaweaver did a lovely job of demystifying the complexities of the reporting process.
The new version of the standards, titled G4, place particular emphasis on "materiality". That is, rather than giving a huge data dump, reporting companies are encouraged to identify and prioritize the most significant aspect of their operations and focus on telling the story of those aspects in some detail.
