		<description><![CDATA[We need to take a stand and develop a new and innovative method for gauging our effectiveness - not by dollars raised or a convoluted SOP 98-2 process that can be jury-rigged to fit the outcome we want. Why are we all si by and letting this happen? It's kind of like the lazzi-fare attitude that Wall Street faced for so many years. Everyone seemed to be in on the little secret that there was a house of cards being built but no one really cared as long as everyone continued to prosper from the deceit. <a href="http://oculusdirect.com/blog/2008/12/21/being-true-to-our-mission-2/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hope that one of the outcomes of this Madoff debacle, along with the stock market cratering, the recession, bankruptcies and so forth - will be a resurgence of a renewed consideration for the "person" and not just "things". We need to circle back and embrace the human condition and not materialism.  <a href="http://oculusdirect.com/blog/2008/12/19/lets-re-calibrate-our-priorities/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The million dollar question on every nonprofit leader is how to deal with the ongoing economic downturn. Are we pulling out of it? Is the worst yet to come? How long will it last? And what will be the short and long-term consequence to the business and fundraising capacity? The uncertainty of it all is incredibly unsettling. <a href="http://oculusdirect.com/blog/2008/08/16/how-should-a-nonprofit-deal-with-the-economic-downturn/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GLOBALIZATION: The world has shrunk. It is truly a small world after all. The barriers of time, geography, language and culture are breaking down at a break-neck pace. The new European Union and the fall of Communism are only two examples. But the Internet and other electronic and digital technologies will continue to break the barriers down even further. Corporations from all nations are looking for ways to reach other countries.

		<description><![CDATA[Steven T. Miller, commissioner of the IRS's tax-exempt and government-entities division, said the tax agency will be "more aggressive" in monitoring the "efficiency and effectiveness" of charitable organizations, even though such monitoring is not expressly within the agency's jurisdiction. Mr. Miller added: "The question is no longer whether the IRS has a role to play in this area, but rather what that role will be."
