Hi, my name is David. I work for the Apex Chamber of Commerce, and I'm here to watch the uncharitable movie, which I understand is phenomenal. And being able to leverage and strengthen your nonprofit. As a nonprofit ourselves, we got to learn how to be more effective, more efficient, and change the mindsets that we could be better in our own community. Hi, I'm Burt Armstrong. I'm with the Armstrong McGuire and Associates based here in Raleigh. We were one of the sponsors of Uncharitable showing tonight and really excited about that, especially excited just about the conversation that has been started and that is continuing as this movie begins to get the documentary begins to get out there and really raises some important questions and things that are nonprofit sector has had to deal with, needs to deal with our boards need to deal with that our funders. You deal with it and whether you agree with everything in the movie or not, that's OK. It's just important to have the discussion so. Alright, so my name is Brian Etheridge. I served as President of Leadership North Carolina. We're based here in Raleigh and have just under 1500 alumni that have been through our program since we started back in 1995. I got a chance to see on charitable couple of months ago with my team and actually recruited members of our board of directors to attend the night. And my big hope is just to help kind of raise the profile of this amazing documentary, the partners who brought it to all of us. To help support the nonprofit sector and to help support leaders across North Carolina who really see that we have the potential to help North Carolina live into its, its real mission. And, and that's, you know, to be rather than the scene. So we're really excited about tonight. Hi, I'm Laurie O'Keefe and I'm president and CEO of Triangle Community Foundation. We are a regional based nonprofit grant maker here in the Triangle. I have not seen this movie yet. This is my first time. I know the story, I know the controversy. I know it's a little disruptive, but I think it's important for funders and donors to recognize that we need to fund the full cost of all of these amazing nonprofits that are doing work in our region and. Across the country, so I'm really looking forward to it. Hi, I'm Erica Cain, and I'm the CEO and President of United Way of the Greater Triangle. And I'm here because we know that we have to get together as nonprofit leaders and as leaders in this community if we're going to meet our overall vision of ending poverty in the Triangle and in ensuring that we have social mobility for all, regardless of circumstance. So we're excited about that, and we're excited about the showing of this movie, and that's why I'm here. Hey everybody, my name is Shanetta Harrell. I'm the founder and executive director of the No Woman No Girl Initiative. Our mission is simple. We believe that no woman and no girl should ever have to go without access to hygiene products to survive crisis or transition. This movie is imperative. It's very crucial. It's very important for funders to be able to fund overhead. Without being able to operate, we cannot, you know, further amplify our missions. Out on the street. And so I would encourage you to please see the movie, let's talk about it, and ultimately, let's make a difference.
