>> I think the biggest motivation is the impact that we have.
So when we, actually I know that we've had an impact on a law, regulation
or helped a young leader share their voice that led to lowering the cost of college
or creating jobs for young adults, that certainly gets me up in the morning.
And then the second thing is that I love the day to day.
I love people.
And it's working in the management role it's really important to understand who people are
that you work with day to day, what they care about,
and helping them achieving their objectives.
And I really love that part of the job too.
The hardest part of running a nonprofit and I'd say particularly an advocacy
in organizing nonprofit is that it's, you know, the environment is constantly fluid.
It can be very difficult to set goals and clear metrics.
You know, it's not like a company where we're setting a revenue target or sales office.
I mean, sometimes like development, you got to raise a certain amount of money
to pay your salaries, but beyond that, it can be very difficult
to create the change that you want to see.
it's hard to measure that and it's even hard to measure your impact
because if you're doing it well, you're working in coalition with other groups
and other constituencies that, you know, share common interest and values and so I think trying
to set a clear vision of what we're trying to accomplish is one of the biggest challenges
that we have as a leadership team and I think a lot about on a day-to-day basis.
