Jim Barnes, IUB, has been named to a panel of the National Academy of Public Administration that has been asked by the Department of the Interior on behalf of several other federal agencies to provide an Assessment of Institutional Options for Developing and Reporting National Environmental Indicators. The Government Accounting Office earlier had recommended that the federal government take a number of steps to develop a national system of environmental indicators that is reliable, trusted, and relevant. The Academy panel will critique a “white paper” that provides a basis for informed decisions by assessing existing capabilities and needs, identifying feasible institutional options, and evaluating the options based on sound criteria.
The V362 and V525 nonprofit management courses developed and taught by Beth Gazley, IUB, were featured on a new IUB Web page, “Teaching and Learning at Indiana University.” The Web site is located at http://teaching.iub.edu/showcases.php?nav=showcases.
Les Lenkowsky, IUB and IUPUI, was recently interviewed by “FLIP,” Foundations Leaders in Philanthropy, a growing “social networking” site, aimed at young professionals in the nonprofit sector, particularly fund-raisers. Its sponsor is Changing Our World, a NY-based philanthropic services company. The interview is available at http://flip.onphilanthropy.com/flip/.
