We owe special thanks to John Ott, whose conversations led to the early formulation of our OD framework, and to George Silcott, Jennifer Henderson and Kenneth Jones, who helped the Foundation conceptualize and develop the Organizational Development Program and who provided interviews for this paper. Finally, we thank the emerging Southern Collaborative for Organizational Development, whose members reviewed an early draft of this paper. Their comments helped us understand that the report reflects organizational development primarily through the eyes of paid staff members of nonprofit organizations. We understand that board members and constituents are integral to the process, and indeed have been the source of much of the progress made by participants in the Organizational Development Program. Due to time and logistical issues, we limited our interviews to staff members; the paper reflects that bias.
