Synopsis

What does it take to create a successful nonprofit organization? This memoir recounts the author's experience as the second Executive Director of the Alice Ferguson Foundation, bringing together community, staff, and board, to create a center for learning about family farming and the environment.
You'll be enchanted by the story of Alice's adventures, the good times at Hard Bargain Farm and what followed. With wisdom and heart, Kay tells the tale of the foundation's infancy, rocky childhood, and transformation into today's Alice Ferguson Foundation.
Learn how the foundation worked in partnership with the National Park Service, Mount Vernon, local school systems, and a dedicated community to promote environmental education across the region. Today the Hard Bargain Farm Environmental Center hosts thousands of school children and hundreds of teachers, coordinates regional park/school/nonprofit partnerships, and inspires legions of volunteers to protect our earth.

À propos de l?auteur

As the Executive Director of the Alice Ferguson Foundation from 1979 - 1999, Kay Powell led the organization through its formative years, as it grew from a historic farm bequest in the neighboring community into an award-winning environmental education center. Under Kay's direction the foundation developed outreach activities that promoted environmental preservation in the Potomac Watershed. The National Park Service has recognized Kay's preservation efforts with its highest citizen award, Honorary Park Ranger. These days Kay enjoys her family, home and prolific garden, all down the road from Hard Bargain Farm. She is active in a local PEO chapter, an organization supporting education for women, and pursues her writing.
