PIVOT FOR CAREGIVING
PIVOT FOR CAREGIVING
My personal situation with my family and my Mom's medical challenges is leading Kim and I to revise our offering for the Legislative advocacy portion of Wild Cat Consulting's portfolio. I will have to fly back and forth to Arkansas frequently, so I cannot be a lobbyist for any organization, as I will not be physically present in Sacramento.
Our Legislative advocacy service will now consist of behind the scenes advocacy mentoring and teaching lobbyists (usually in-house lobbyists) by giving guidance and direction to less experienced, mostly early career professionals.
If you can think of any org that might be interested in this newly revised approach, please introduce us! I hope to be of service.Take a minute to write an introduction that is short, sweet, and to the point.
“There’s No Place for Us” A MUST READ
It’s pretty intense that county housing authorities are posting about this. It’s official. “Hard work is no longer enough to keep a roof over one’s head.” Brian Goldstone’s book, “There’s No Place For Us: Working and Homeless in America” is a must read. It has the data to back up the anecdotes, but it’s not a wonky book. He follows five families through their trials and tribulations of trying to find housing while working and juggling kids and child care responsibilities in Atlanta, and what that has to teach all of us. https://www.usatoday.com/booklist/books/there-is-no-place-for-us-working-and-homeless-in-america/9780593237144/2025-04-09
