Who Make
a Difference
n a year that saw the
near-collapse of the global
economy and a series of
extraordinary actions taken
by governments and central
banks to prevent such a collapse,
it was no surprise that the president’s
economic team and members of Congress
dominated the headlines. But it was a littleknown
money manager by the name of
Bernard Madoff who came to symbolize, as
much as anyone, the greed and hubris of a
money culture gone awry.
“Nonprofit
leaders are the
often invisible
heroes of our
communities.”
— Julie L. Rogers
