He graduated from Georgia State College (later Georgia State University) in 1957 with a degree in public administration. He married his wife Tally in 1956, and they had three children and several grandchildren. Sweat covered the Fulton County courthouse for the Atlanta Journal while still in college. In 1957 he entered the Navy, where his commander allowed him to attend Seventh Fleet scheduling conferences. Sweat later returned to Atlanta, and the Journal, but later took at job as information director at DeKalb County. County Commission chairman Charles O. Emmerich took Sweat under his wing, but lost his reelection bid in 1964. Emmerich then took a job with Economic Opportunity Atlanta, a new federal anti-poverty program, and took Sweat with him. Sweat earned a reputation as a master at getting federal grants. Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. eventually offered Sweat a position at City Hall. Sweat took a job in 1966 as director of government liaison, charged with bringing as much federal money to Atlanta as possible. Eventually Allen promoted Sweat to chief administrative officer in August of 1969. Sweat kept the same job under Mayor Sam Massell, who succeeded Allen. He coordinated Atlanta's War on Poverty and Model Cities programs during his tenure at City Hall. Sweat also played a role in the naming of the first two black department heads in city government. Sweat left City Hall in late 1971, and early the next year took a job as executive director of the Atlanta Regional Commission. He was involved in establishing the Chattahoochee River Corridor, and helped the commission survive its initial court challenges. In 1973, Sweat became president of Central Atlanta Progress. In that role he represented downtown business interests, and gained the reputation as a major power broker in Atlanta. Sweat bridged the gap between new black political power at City Hall and the white downtown business establishment. He was involved in numerous high profile downtown projects, including the redevelopment of both Underground Atlanta and the Bedford Pines neighborhood. Sweat left CAP in 1988 and took a job with the CF Foundation, a philanthropic organization affiliated with developer Thomas G. Cousins. In 1991, former President Jimmy Carter appointed Sweat coordinator of the Atlanta Project. Sweat helped raise $14 million in his first year on the job. He left in 1995. These interviews were conducted during an illness that resulted in Sweat's death in 1997. His condition during the interviews had an impact on the content, length, and structure of the interviews.

[First paragraph of introduction]: In a recently published document entitled "Charities doing Commercial Ventures: Societal and Organizational Implications", (1998), Brenda Zimmerman and Ray Dart point out that even though charities have been undertaking commercial ventures for years, it would appear that we a poised for a dramatic increase in commercial activity. In response to government support radically decreasing, the phenomenon of nonprofit organizations taking on entrepreneurial ventures to generate additional resources is gaining momentum.

[Paragraph 1 of Introduction]: Significant shifts have been taking place in Canada's social philosophy in the last decade or so which are having a major impact on the voluntary sector (McBride and Shields, 1997). These changes in Canada involve decreasing government participation in the provision of the social welfare net that Canadians are used to. At the same time, economic constraints are changing the nature of the partnership between government and the voluntary sector. During the post-war decades there was close cooperation between governments and the voluntary sector, with many government programs encouraging the growth of the sector through the provision of grants; today the government is down loading social services and forcing the sector to seek their funding elsewhere, while encouraging greater reliance on volunteering to provide for social services.

A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO followed up on its report on the Air Force's F-22 engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) program, focusing on whether: (1) the Air Force is likely to complete the EMD program without exceeding the cost limitation established by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998; and (2) GAO had access to sufficient information to make informed judgments on matters covered by this report."

[First paragraph of Introduction]: Until recently the discipline of Public Administration, and the Social Sciences more generally, have been remarkably silent about the role of nonprofit organizations in the provision of 'public services' and their contribution toward public benefit. In fact, an understanding of the place which nonprofit organizations play within society has been an ignored subject matter; the state of affairs is such that one commentator has tellingly referred to the voluntary realm as the "invisible sector" (Hall 1997: 74).

{Paragraph 1 of Introduction]: The last decade of this century has been a difficult one for the public sector. Budgets have been cut, programs merged or eliminated, and operational staff downsized. There have been societal changes including shifts in attitudes and values, and excessive consumerism. During the decade, the 'victim' phenomena has become a prevailing force with well organized special interest groups demanding recompense for perceived injustices. And days of universal entitlements have been under critical review, if not coming to an end. All government levels have been under increased pressure for services, yet have had fewer resources with which to respond and a less clear mandate with which to work. Statements such as "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you," are met with wry smiles as many government programs' credibility has waned. New and creative responses are required to meet the challenges of responding to these 'new realities'. This article is a report of a government department that radically altered its service delivery and pioneered an experimental program based on the latest understandings from the field of organization development.

[First paragraph of Introduction]: The neo-liberal assault on the Keynesian welfare state and the demand that government be 'reinvented' has come to focus increased attention upon the so-called `third sector'. This has occurred because of the moves by neo-liberal governments to downloading former public responsibilities onto the market, nonprofit organizations and individuals; their desire to forge new partnership relationships with non-state actors like voluntary bodies in order to develop alternative service delivery options; and the neo-liberal assertion that intrusive government has worked to undermine voluntary citizen participation, charitable giving, and self-help.

Government policies in Canada have taken a "hard right turn" and tax cuts now have priority over investing in social programming. Both federal and provincial governments have been withdrawing from direct service provision with the expectation that the nonprofit sector will fill in the gap. At the same time, traditional government support for the sector has declined, which limits organizations' ability to meet their current service demands. Using a sample of 645 organizations from across Canada, this paper explores the use of revenue diversification as a response to policy changes. The findings indicate that while nonprofit organizations in Canada have embraced revenue diversification to support program delivery, the extent of diversification is influenced by size, whether the organization is run by women or not, whether it is a relatively new organization or one with a long history and track record, and whether its mandate has a broad or narrow appeal.

Gesellschaftspolitische Auseinandersetzungen um religiöse Symbole und Stätten sind religionsgeschichtlich zwar nichts Neues, jedoch scheinen solche Konflikte in jüngster Zeit in Europa vermehrt in der Öffentlichkeit und den Medien präsent zu sein. Der Beitrag skizziert am Beispiel des Konfliktes um den Ruf des Muezzin in Duisburg-Laar und anhand der Auseinandersetzung um den Haupttempel der Hare-Krishna-Bewegung in Großbritannien den Verlauf solcher Konflikte. Der Theorieansatz des »öffentlichen Raums« analysiert diese Konflikte in kultursoziologischer Perspektive: Entsprechende Konflikte sind nicht nur Gradmesser gesellschaftlicher Toleranz ›fremd‹-religiösen Traditionen gegenüber, sondern auch Indikator der impliziten Normierung des öffentlichen Raums. Die gesellschaftspolitischen Auseinandersetzungen in den kulturell und plural gestalteten Gesellschaften Europas deuten darauf hin, daß eine inhaltliche Neubesetzung dieser Normierung zugunsten der Repräsentanz bislang marginalisierter Gruppen, insbesondere von Migrantengruppen, anstellt und zunehmend zwischen den gesellschaftlichen Gruppen ausgehandelt wird. ; + ID der Publikation: unilu_3042 + Sprache: Deutsch + Letzte Aktualisierung: 2018-05-30 10:29:30
