AbstractThe ability of nonprofits to weather hard times is a popular theme in the literature, yet most of the research is spent on predicting organizational closure. Unfortunately, this offers little guidance to nonprofits attempting to both survive and deliver services during crises. We use the lived experiences of 31 nonprofits—a mix of umbrella groups and direct human service providers—during the Illinois state budget impasse to understand nonprofit organization resilience in times of crisis. We establish the Nonprofit Resiliency Framework using qualitative analysis, mapping tactics in five areas: financial, human resources, outreach, program and services, and management and leadership. This study not only provides further empirical investigation of organizational resilience, but also useful advice for nonprofits on how to weather a complex financial crisis.

The focus of this article is planning for resiliency in the aftermath of a catastrophe. First, the authors offer their conception of planning for resiliency as a goal for recovering communities, and the benefits of planning in efforts to create more resilient places. Next, they discuss major issues associated with planning for postdisaster recovery, including barriers posed by federal and state governments to planning for resiliency, the promise and risks of compact urban form models for guiding rebuilding, and the failure to involve citizens in planning for disasters. Finally, they discuss lessons from prior research that address these issues and policy recommendations that foster predisaster recovery planning for resilient communities.

WHY THIS SUBJECT? I resonated the most with the topic of feminism. In addition to recent events (Brock Turner trial and the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett) I have also been on the receiving end of cat calls, stereotypes etc. I really wanted to show the power of women, and everything we have gone through to get where we are today. I also live in Michigan, and during the pandemic there have been some hurtful sayings/actions done against our Governor, Gretchen Whitmer. She was a big inspiration for this poster because through it all, she does what's best for our state and citizens. Another inspiration was Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I took a lot of government classes back in high school and I learned so much about her and what she's done in the Supreme Court. Her recent passing was really painful for many reasons. Besides being a wonderful human overall, her successor Amy Coney Barrett is an instant threat to all human rights we have established. Overall, I wanted to illustrate how powerful, beautiful, and strong women are. WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT THE WORK? My stylistic inspiration was art during the Third-wave Feminism. I really like the layered and multi-textured look, so I tried to make a modern version of that! Making art is not my strong suit since I'm a Music Business major, but I'm really pleased with how my poster turned out. WHAT WAS YOUR PROCESS? This was all done digitally, but I really wanted to include different textures and filters. I first took images off of Google that I liked, and erased the background. From there, I added in any edits I felt fit the theme of my piece. To put it all together, I turned to the app Procreate. I layered the icons and added in my own doodles/sketches to finish off the poster. ; https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingprotest/1015/thumbnail.jpg

PurposeThe purpose of this article is to explore the interrelationship between workplace stress, coping and resiliency and their influence on employee health and productivity.Design/methodology/approachThis general review includes an examination of selected theoretical models within the areas of stress, coping and resiliency. In addition, a conceptual framework is presented which emphasizes the role that personality characteristics and coping strategies play in impacting employees' overall health and productivity within the workplace.FindingsThrough this general review, there is a recognition of the importance of both personality characteristics and coping strategies and their associated influence on employee health and productivity – specifically within Civil Service work settings.Practical implicationsManagers, executives and human resource management practitioners are presented with proposed strategies as a means of examining coping, resiliency and workplace stress within Civil Service work environments.Originality/valueThis article offers readers further insights into understanding why some employees are more or less resilient, given the same stressful situation. In today's Civil Service work environment, continually shifting performance expectations and media/public scrutiny are just two of the features common to working for government agencies. Therefore, the issue of understanding and building resilient Civil Service workforces that are able to handle the multitude of unique demands and constraints placed on them seems not only intriguing, but necessary.
