TO FURTHER CELEBRATE SVP'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY, WE HOSTED BIGBANG, A CONFERENCE TO SPARK SOCIAL INNOVATION (OCTOBER 28, 2011). MORE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AT BIGBANG.CSVP.ORG. 220 PEOPLE ATTENDED, INCLUDING A DIVERSE ARRAY OF PROFESSIONALS FROM GOVERNMENT, PRIVATE BUSINESSES, AND NONPROFITS, AS WELL AS STUDENTS. THE DAY BEGAN WITH AN ENERGIZING KICK-OFF WELCOME FROM SVP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LINDA SPRINGER. EMCEE DAN MOULTHROP GUIDED PARTICIPANTS THROUGH THE MULTI- FACETED DAY. IN KEEPING WITH ONE OF THE CONFERENCES' PRIMARY GOALS, TO EXPOSE ATTENDEES TO LOCAL SOCIAL INNOVATORS, THE MORNING KICK-OFF WAS FOLLOWED BY THE PITCH STAGE. ATTENDEES NOT ONLY LEARNED ABOUT THE INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TAKEN BY THESE NON-PROFITS, THEY ALSO LEARNED HOW THEY COULD GET INVOLVED AND HOW DONATIONS WOULD BE USED. AFTER THE PITCHES, ATTENDEES CAST VOTES FOR THE MOST COMPELLING PRESENTATIONS, THE ORGANIZATION THEY WOULD MOST LIKELY DONATE TO, AND THE ORGANIZATION FOR WHICH THEY WOULD MOST LIKELY VOLUNTEER. THEY WERE ALSO GIVEN THE CHANCE TO PROVIDE THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION, AND FORTY-ONE ATTENDEES DID SO. THIS INFORMATION WAS SHARED WITH THE PRESENTERS IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD GENERATE DONATIONS AND ENCOURAGE FUTURE INVOLVEMENT. AFTER THE FAST PITCH, ATTENDEES PARTICIPATED IN AN INNOVATION EXCHANGE LED BY THE MOBILE INNOVATION LAB, WHICH INCITED DISCUSSION ABOUT INNOVATION AND LEADERSHIP USING THE INNOVATIVE ZING SOFTWARE THAT PROJECTED EVERYONE'S COMMENTS IN REAL TIME. THE INNOVATION EXCHANGE WAS FOLLOWED BY A LUNCH BREAK TO CATALYZE INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS ON INNOVATION, ENCOURAGE NETWORKING, AND CONTINUE THE EDUCATION OF THE ATTENDEES. ATTENDEES DINED ON CUISINE FROM FOOD TRUCKS OWNED BY LOCAL ENTREPRENEURIAL CHEFS AND HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THE PRESENTERS' BOOTHS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ORGANIZATIONS. THEY HAD THE CHANCE TO SHARE IDEAS AND THOUGHTS REGARDING SOCIAL INNOVATION IN THE CIVIC COMMONS' MOBILE ENGAGEMENT STUDIO, TO LEARN ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE FATHOM ONLINE MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA LOUNGE, AND TO PLAY IN THE MOBILE INNOVATION LAB CUBE WHERE THEY COULD CREATE ARTISTIC RENDERINGS OF WHAT SOCIAL MEDIA LOOKS LIKE. AFTER LUNCH, ATTENDEES PARTICIPATED IN THE KEYNOTE WORKSHOP ON INNOVATION AND LEADERSHIP BY AUTHOR PETER SENGE, FOUNDER OF THE SOCIETY OF ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING AND MIT PROFESSOR. DURING THE WORKSHOP, ATTENDEES WERE "MIXED UP" AS SENGE ASKED THEM TO SWITCH TABLES AND DISCOVER HOW DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PEOPLE COULD COME UP WITH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IDEAS ON SIMILAR TOPICS. PETER SENGE SPOKE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF COLLABORATION AND COMMUNICATION. ATTENDEES WROTE IDEAS AND DREW PICTURES ON PAPER TABLECLOTHS (ATTACHMENT 3). OVERALL, THE GROUP LEARNED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF OPEN- MINDED LEADERSHIP AND THE NEED FOR DIVERSITY TO GENERATE NEW IDEAS. PETER SENGE GAVE US MUCH TO THINK ABOUT AT THE END OF THE DAY: HOW THE COMPLEX NOTION OF LEADERSHIP RANGES FROM THE INDIVIDUAL TO THE COLLECTIVE. HOW WE NEED TO IMPROVE OUR ABILITY TO LISTEN TO EACH OTHER RATHER THAN JUMPING STRAIGHT INTO A PROBLEM-SOLVING MODE. HOW LISTENING IS LINKED TO INNOVATION AS IT OPENS US UP TO FRESH IDEAS. HOW COLLABORATION IS "THE HUMAN FACE OF SYSTEMS THINKING." AND HOW WE LEARN BY WORKING AND BECOMING DEEPLY ENGAGED. SEVERAL DAYS AFTER BIGBANG, ATTENDEES WERE ASKED TO COMPLETE AN ONLINE SURVEY, AND APPROXIMATELY 20% RESPONDED. 100% RATED THE FAST PITCH PRESENTATIONS AS EXCELLENT. 74% RATED THE EVENT GOOD TO EXCELLENT, AND 73% AGREED THAT IT WAS INFORMATIVE.

TO FURTHER CELEBRATE SVP'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY, WE HOSTED BIGBANG, A CONFERENCE TO SPARK SOCIAL INNOVATION (OCTOBER 28, 2011). MORE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AT BIGBANG.CSVP.ORG. 220 PEOPLE ATTENDED, INCLUDING A DIVERSE ARRAY OF PROFESSIONALS FROM GOVERNMENT, PRIVATE BUSINESSES, AND NONPROFITS, AS WELL AS STUDENTS. THE DAY BEGAN WITH AN ENERGIZING KICK-OFF WELCOME FROM SVP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LINDA SPRINGER. EMCEE DAN MOULTHROP GUIDED PARTICIPANTS THROUGH THE MULTI- FACETED DAY. IN KEEPING WITH ONE OF THE CONFERENCES' PRIMARY GOALS, TO EXPOSE ATTENDEES TO LOCAL SOCIAL INNOVATORS, THE MORNING KICK-OFF WAS FOLLOWED BY THE PITCH STAGE. ATTENDEES NOT ONLY LEARNED ABOUT THE INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TAKEN BY THESE NON-PROFITS, THEY ALSO LEARNED HOW THEY COULD GET INVOLVED AND HOW DONATIONS WOULD BE USED. AFTER THE PITCHES, ATTENDEES CAST VOTES FOR THE MOST COMPELLING PRESENTATIONS, THE ORGANIZATION THEY WOULD MOST LIKELY DONATE TO, AND THE ORGANIZATION FOR WHICH THEY WOULD MOST LIKELY VOLUNTEER. THEY WERE ALSO GIVEN THE CHANCE TO PROVIDE THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION, AND FORTY-ONE ATTENDEES DID SO. THIS INFORMATION WAS SHARED WITH THE PRESENTERS IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD GENERATE DONATIONS AND ENCOURAGE FUTURE INVOLVEMENT. AFTER THE FAST PITCH, ATTENDEES PARTICIPATED IN AN INNOVATION EXCHANGE LED BY THE MOBILE INNOVATION LAB, WHICH INCITED DISCUSSION ABOUT INNOVATION AND LEADERSHIP USING THE INNOVATIVE ZING SOFTWARE THAT PROJECTED EVERYONE'S COMMENTS IN REAL TIME. THE INNOVATION EXCHANGE WAS FOLLOWED BY A LUNCH BREAK TO CATALYZE INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS ON INNOVATION, ENCOURAGE NETWORKING, AND CONTINUE THE EDUCATION OF THE ATTENDEES. ATTENDEES DINED ON CUISINE FROM FOOD TRUCKS OWNED BY LOCAL ENTREPRENEURIAL CHEFS AND HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THE PRESENTERS' BOOTHS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ORGANIZATIONS. THEY HAD THE CHANCE TO SHARE IDEAS AND THOUGHTS REGARDING SOCIAL INNOVATION IN THE CIVIC COMMONS' MOBILE ENGAGEMENT STUDIO, TO LEARN ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE FATHOM ONLINE MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA LOUNGE, AND TO PLAY IN THE MOBILE INNOVATION LAB CUBE WHERE THEY COULD CREATE ARTISTIC RENDERINGS OF WHAT SOCIAL MEDIA LOOKS LIKE. AFTER LUNCH, ATTENDEES PARTICIPATED IN THE KEYNOTE WORKSHOP ON INNOVATION AND LEADERSHIP BY AUTHOR PETER SENGE, FOUNDER OF THE SOCIETY OF ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING AND MIT PROFESSOR. DURING THE WORKSHOP, ATTENDEES WERE "MIXED UP" AS SENGE ASKED THEM TO SWITCH TABLES AND DISCOVER HOW DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PEOPLE COULD COME UP WITH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IDEAS ON SIMILAR TOPICS. PETER SENGE SPOKE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF COLLABORATION AND COMMUNICATION. ATTENDEES WROTE IDEAS AND DREW PICTURES ON PAPER TABLECLOTHS (ATTACHMENT 3). OVERALL, THE GROUP LEARNED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF OPEN- MINDED LEADERSHIP AND THE NEED FOR DIVERSITY TO GENERATE NEW IDEAS. PETER SENGE GAVE US MUCH TO THINK ABOUT AT THE END OF THE DAY: HOW THE COMPLEX NOTION OF LEADERSHIP RANGES FROM THE INDIVIDUAL TO THE COLLECTIVE. HOW WE NEED TO IMPROVE OUR ABILITY TO LISTEN TO EACH OTHER RATHER THAN JUMPING STRAIGHT INTO A PROBLEM-SOLVING MODE. HOW LISTENING IS LINKED TO INNOVATION AS IT OPENS US UP TO FRESH IDEAS. HOW COLLABORATION IS "THE HUMAN FACE OF SYSTEMS THINKING." AND HOW WE LEARN BY WORKING AND BECOMING DEEPLY ENGAGED. SEVERAL DAYS AFTER BIGBANG, ATTENDEES WERE ASKED TO COMPLETE AN ONLINE SURVEY, AND APPROXIMATELY 20% RESPONDED. 100% RATED THE FAST PITCH PRESENTATIONS AS EXCELLENT. 74% RATED THE EVENT GOOD TO EXCELLENT, AND 73% AGREED THAT IT WAS INFORMATIVE.

ENFORCEMENT OF CONFLICTS POLICY FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 12C EACH YEAR, THE BOARD MEMBERS ARE ASKED TO REVIEW THE ORGANIZATION'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE POLICY MAKES CLEAR THAT ALL DECISIONS OF THE BOARD, OFFICERS, AND EMPLOYEES OF THE ORGANIZATION ARE MADE SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF A DESIRE TO PROMOTE THE BEST INTEREST OF THE ORGANIZATION AND THE PUBLIC GOOD. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT REQUESTS BOARD MEMBERS TO IDENTIFY TO THE BEST OF THEIR KNOWLEDGE AFFILIATIONS WITH ORGANIZATIONS THAT MAY BE POTENTIALLY RELATED TO THE FINANCIALS OR OTHER SUBSTANTIVE OPERATIONS OF THE ORGANIZATION. THEY ARE ALSO ASKED TO IDENTIFY CIRCUMSTANCES INVOLVING EITHER THEMSELVES, OR A MEMBER OF THEIR EXTENDED FAMILY, THAT MAY BE CONSTRUED AS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. AT THE STAFF LEVEL, THE ORGANIZATION'S PERSONNEL ALSO ENSURE THAT THERE ARE NO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WHEN CONSIDERING THE ENGAGEMENT OF A NEW VENDOR. IF A POTENTIAL CONFLICT IS IDENTIFIED, APPROPRIATE STEPS ARE TAKEN TO BOTH ASSESS THE NATURE OF THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT AND, SUBSEQUENTLY, TO ENSURE THAT THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACTUAL CONFLICT IS MITIGATED. SUCH MITIGATION IS MANAGED AND THE LETTER AND SPIRIT OF THE CONFLICTS POLICY ARE UPHELD.
