Komen Finally Chooses a Successor to Brinker or So They Say - NPQ - Nonprofit Quarterly
Komen Finally Chooses a Successor to Brinker or So They Say - NPQ - Nonprofit Quarterly: Our assumption is that Brinker plans on staying. We don’t stand with those who think that a founder cannot stay on once a new leader steps in, but in this case, we doubt somewhat that this leadership shift is entirely…how shall we say it?…sincere in its aim to transfer the reins of power. What do you think?—Ruth McCambridge

New CEO aims to diversify Komen fundraising � Philanthropy North Carolina
New CEO aims to diversify Komen fundraising � Philanthropy North Carolina: On the heels of that drop, Komen’s Raleigh-based North Carolina Triangle to the Coast affiliate has a new executive director and big plans to diversify its fundraising to support its recent expansion in southeastern North Carolina.
“We’ve been extremely successful with our events,” says Pam Kohl, a nonprofit veteran who joined Komen in August after serving for nine years as district director for U.S. Rep. Brad Miller. “Just like any nonprofit, we know we can never depend on any particular revenue stream.”

Now that Nancy Brinker is stepping down as chief executive of the charity she founded, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, her critics are agitating for her to quit the charity’s board.
She doesn’t want to go, and the charity’s policy of letting some people serve as lifetime board members means she is not required to. That could pose a big challenge in the next few months as Komen conducts its highest-profile fundraising races.

Komen breast-cancer charity fights to keep support - NorthJersey.com
Komen breast-cancer charity fights to keep support - NorthJersey.com: But critics say the drop-off in donations shows how hard it’s going to be for the organization to redeem its image and win back the support of the thousands who abandoned it.
“Any non-profit has just one incredibly valuable asset: trust,” said Andrew Watt, chief executive of the Association of Fundraising Professionals in Arlington, Va. “Once you destroy that trust, it takes a lot longer to restore it.”

Maxim Thorne: The Komen-Planned Parenthood Case -- A Philanthropic and Political Victory for Us All
Maxim Thorne: The Komen-Planned Parenthood Case -- A Philanthropic and Political Victory for Us All: I like the fact that Komen's strategies have been entrepreneurial and they pay to get the best talent, and thus get people to give more time, and more treasure. And I like the brand they created.
Why then the outrage that hit the Komen Foundation because of its decision to defund Planned Parenthood?
Well the Komen Foundation forgot what donors believed about the Komen brand and that's surprising. My own impression of the Komen brand was that it was a non-partisan tough organization that focused on its mission and got most of the world to believe that women's health -- and breast cancer in particular -- was not a political issue. We could all support it and believe it was the big pink umbrella -- the pink ribbon for us all.
