Of the four, both the CenterPoint and Edge statements convey a more dynamic sense thru the use of active verbs, and keep the message brief but strong. But the Edge statement went too spare-- I really don't have a sense of what they do.Betsy Geistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363991990562301431.post-82872404030228016402011-11-25T12:45:58.996-05:002011-11-25T12:45:58.996-05:00Update: 9 more e-mails supporting Centerpoint, alo...Update: 9 more e-mails supporting Centerpoint, along with a few anonymous comments that we are ignoring (as noted in the original post, above.Sam Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13877834064192936473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363991990562301431.post-91100429030920646062011-11-24T19:55:04.352-05:002011-11-24T19:55:04.352-05:00As Founder and ED of Centerpoint Institute for Lif...As Founder and ED of Centerpoint Institute for Life and Career Renewal, I'd just like to say how thrilled we are to be in this very impressive group of finalists! While we've been doing this important work for nearly 20 years, we have had a difficult time finding the right words to describe it. So we were very pleased when we saw that someone said, "Taken with the organization’s name, this statement leaves little—or everything—to the imagination." Our mission is broad and our work covers a lot of ground. We've had a very difficult time connecting with funders; they seem to prefer to support organizations with a specific and tangible focus. This is why we could really use the assistance — to find ways of communicating even better! Here's link to a recent video that we prepared to apply for a local grant and that highlights our mission: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW1rasfXQTk. While we didn't make it into the finals, we had a great time interviewing former and current clients and staff! Our vision statement is: We imagine a world where everyone's life is powered by passion and purpose!Carol Vecchiohttp://centerpointseattle.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363991990562301431.post-48475669442111158132011-11-24T01:10:06.506-05:002011-11-24T01:10:06.506-05:00I vote for Centerpoint - Navigate, Build, and Desi...I vote for Centerpoint - Navigate, Build, and Design - <br />Past, Present and future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363991990562301431.post-59534074663887462011-11-23T20:55:21.652-05:002011-11-23T20:55:21.652-05:00I vote for Centerpoint.
