Dear Colleagues,
I am happy to introduce a new feature of the League’s website, Economic Crossroads. This is here to assist our members in addressing the extraordinary challenges posed by the continuing economic downturn. Economic Crossroads
provides information and tools devoted to the economy and financial
management, advocacy, governance, development, public relations, and
human resources. (See menu on the left)
While not everything will be germane to your situation or your
organization’s level of experience, you may want to share some of these
materials and opportunities with members of your staff and/or board.
In addition to the online resources, the League is pleased to offer our new Member Support Desk.
James Holt, in the League’s Member Services Department, is our
dedicated staff member on call to signpost you to the information you
are seeking or field questions, issues, and concerns you may have. James may be reached at

. Please note that all correspondence about any of the above subject matter is strictly confidential.
Finally, these pages will be updated regularly, and as we research new
and important information our members have requested. I believe the Economic Crossroads is an important development for members and as always we appreciate your feedback.
Best wishes,
Jesse Rosen
President and CEO
Economic Crossroads is made possible in part by a generous grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
