In a world driven by profit seeking, standing up and saying that an organization does not pursue profit is powerful. But I think it is only a starting point for defining what the sector stands for.

I think a new name that identifies us based on what we are working towards has a lot more power and unites various sectors around a common goal. Best wishes, Trista Sean,
