Too often, nonprofits are viewed as rigid and bureaucratic - less nimble and capable of adapting in this fluid environment than our corporate counterparts. I don't agree.

Girl Scouts is a girl-serving organization, so our members are girls.

What they are doing is creating a bureaucratic superstructure. If they think this is going to be nimble, and that a little personnel flexibility is going to do that for them, I disagree.

Unless and until our society recognizes cyber bullying for what it is, the suffering of thousands of silent victims will continue.

What gets posted online is not short term, and is open for easy misinterpretation. Messages and pictures spread faster through the Internet than they ever could by word of mouth.

Girl Scouts is such an iconic organization that it's easy to overlook how daring an idea it was for founder Juliette Gordon Low to gather those first 18 girls in that troop in Savannah, Georgia. It was 1912, after all, and women wouldn't earn the right to vote for another eight years.
