    Should Nonprofits Consolidate Resources? with Brookings Area United Way Executive Director Heidi Gullickson | The Official Do Good Better Podcast #304

    Should Nonprofits Consolidate Resources? with Brookings Area United Way Executive Director Heidi Gullickson | The Official Do Good Better Podcast #304

    Today's Five-Star Guest is Heidi Gullickson, Executive Director of the Brookings (SD) Area United Way. 
     
    Stepping into her role on April 1st, 2014, Heidi Gullickson has taken Brookings Area United Way to new heights. As a Brookings native, Heidi fell in love with her community. Staying close to home for higher education, she graduated from South Dakota State University in 1995 with a Bachelor's of Science in Sociology and minors in Consumer Affairs and Economics. After her marriage to her husband, Jeff Gullickson, they moved to Indiana and lived there from 1995 to 2007, but the South Dakota plains soon called them back. Developing a deep understanding of nonprofit management through her leadership as the Executive Director at the Brookings Area Chamber of Commerce & Convention Bureau, partnered with her ever-evolving knowledge of the county's needs, Heidi saw her next fit with United Way. 

    Under her leadership, United Way has launched a 5-year action plan-Impact 2023: focusing on the most critical issues of our communities to fight for the health, education, and self-sufficiency of every individual.

Informative and Engaging!

I recently stumbled upon this podcast, and it's quickly become one of my favorites. The conversations are always engaging, and the topics are relevant to anyone interested in making a positive impact in the world. Patrick is a fantastic host who brings on guests with diverse perspectives and expertise. As a listener, I truly feel like I'm a part of a community of people who care deeply about doing good in the world!

Practical and uplifting

When the doing good gets hard… just listen to Patrick. I love the uplifting tone and optimism combined with real, actionable advice. The conversations are genuine, informative, and leave me feeling a little more ready to take on the day’s goals.

This show will motivate you to go from good to great

It’s easy to second-guess yourself if you’re running a small non-profit, but it shouldn’t be that way. This show gives a ton of new ideas, perspectives, and tips. The energetic Patrick Kirby knows how to get the best from his guests (I experienced it first-hand as one of them). This is a must-listen podcast for anyone looking to make a difference in this world.
