John,

As organizational leaders, we often make decisions based on our perceptions of risk—whether financial, strategic, reputational, or legal. However, have we examined what assumptions are underlying our understanding of organizational risk? Are our conceptions rooted in scarcity and fear?

We are thrilled to announce the first in a series of live conversations hosted by Common Future around redefining risk. Our first webinar will feature a conversation with Nonprofit AF’s Vu Le and Common Future Co-CEO Jennifer Njuguna. Here are the details:

What: Common Future Webinar Series
Risky Business: Moving from Fear to Bravery to Create a Just Society
with Vu Le and Jennifer Njuguna

When: Thursday, June 27
1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT

For many of our organizations, assessing risk might feel challenging in an environment of racial justice backlash and with the ongoing weaponizing of legal and political tools against the social sector. Join us for a conversation around examining the risks we face when we commit to changing the status quo and speaking truth to power.

Hope to see you there,

—The Common Future Team
