Bill Strickland (TED Talk)

Bill Strickland is an amazing character whose not only beat the odds with his rise to success, but did not waste any time in turning around and giving right back to the community he comes from. His center is an amazing model not only for the nonprofit communities but as you will hear him discuss in the video above, leaders from the business community are also studying his organization for lessons to take with them back over to the for-profit sector as well.

Those of you who attended the Michigan Nonprofit Association Superconference in Dearborn earlier this month may have gotten a chance to hear him speak when he was there. I think this discussion is such a wonderful treat even for those who have already heard him in the past. Bill is doing the unimaginable having come from such limited resources, he is an inspiration for us all to work better and smarter for our children and our communities!
