Charity leaders, celebrities, foreign ministers, and other high-profile people should postone their visits to Haiti because their trips would take resources away from help for the victims of last month’s earthquake, says Kara C. McDonald, a former American diplomat who now works at the Council on Foriegn Relations. Her views appear in Foreign Policy magazine.

Jeff Brooks, creative director at TrueSense Marketing, which works with nonprofit groups, says that charities sometimes deny their missions in a misguided attempt to make it seem like their work is more elaborate than it is.

President Obama should be applauded for his effort to end childhood hunger in America by 2015, says Billy Shore, executive director of Share Our Strength, on his blog.

New leaders in the nonprofit world need to get informed about important topics, speak up about them, and “be firm, but not rigid” in their thinking, says Rosetta Thurman, a nonprofit consultant, on her blog.
