The NPT Power And Influence Top 50 There are many bright executive flames in the nonprofit sector. There are leaders who blaze trails while others, just as importantly, provide that stability and fertile ground from which the sector will continue to grow and flourish. There are others who simply shake the tree. In this, the third annual NPT Power and Influence Top 50, we turn the spotlight on people who have moved the sector during their careers, as well as just during the past 12 months. There are executive shake-ups, court cases and plain old ingenuity that brought people to this list. A seven member tribunal comprised of NPT staff and a few hand-picked members of the nonprofit community narrowed a field of more than 100 nominees through private conversations and a very long conference call. The panelists were not permitted to be part of the list, although several very well could have been included in the selection process. The NonProfit Times editor-in-chief was the last bastion of scrutiny in the selection and held veto power over finalists, which was exercised once this year. Many familiar names were worthy enough to make the list for the third consecutive year, and two leaders return after a year’s absence. More than a dozen new, cutting edge people within the nonprofit sector made the list this year. While there were recipients last year who did not make the cut this year, that should not reflect negatively on their contributions to the third sector. It only gives credence to the fact that narrowing a cramped field of movers and shakers is an arduous one. So, here they are, The NPT Power and Influence Top 50, Class of 2000.
Edward H. Able, Jr. President and CEO American Association of Musuems B.A., Emory University; M.B.A., George Washington University; executive vice president, American Society of Landscape Architects and the Landscape Architecture Foundation; assistant director of resident associate program, Smithsonian Institution; staff aide, U.S. Sens. Mike Mansfield and Richard B. Russell. Is there a mall anywhere in the U.S. without some sort of museum shop? The 15,000 organizations that make up the American Association of Museums have been experiencing some huge gains, thanks to Wall Street. And through Able’s guidance, influence and leadership, especially on tax and legislation issues, AAM continues to prosper.
Alan Abramson Director, Nonprofit Sector and Philanthropy Program The Aspen Institute B.A., Wesleyan University; Ph.D., Yale University; research associate, The Urban Institute; adjunct professor, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown and George Washington universities; consultant, Independent Sector; author and co-author, including The Nonprofit Sector, and the Federal Budget and Broken Purse Strings.

Betty S. Beene President United Way of America B.A., Arkansas State University; M.B.A., University of Houston; president, Girl Scout Council of Houston; president, United Way of Houston; president and chief executive officer, United Way of Tri-State.

Susan V. Berresford President The Ford Foundation B.A., Radcliffe College; program officer, Neighborhood Youth Corps; Manpower Career Development Agency; The Ford Foundation; board of directors, Council on Foundations. If the Ford Foundation had a human face, it would be that of Berresford, who has spent the majority of her adult life there.

Harvey P. Dale Director NYU Program on Philanthropy and the Law B.A., Cornell University; J.D., Harvard University Law School; associate, Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle, New York; Partner, Schaeffer, Dale & Vogel, New York; president, The Atlantic Foundation; chairman, Atlantic Philanthropic Service Company; member, Cornell University Council and Trustee Investment Committee; advisory committee member, Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy at The Urban Institute. Dale would probably make this list for either of the hats he wears. His many years of experience with the law and philanthropy has propelled him as one of the principal leaders in the field. Then, there’s that matter of the millions of dollars secretly pumped into the sector by Atlantic Philanthropic.
James Dale Sued Boy Scouts of America B.A., Rutgers University; Attained highest level in Scouting by earning Eagle Scout. Lost lengthy legal battle with the organization in late June when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of BSA 5-4. Dale showed that there are more ways to ignite a fire than simply rubbing a couple of sticks. The case he brought to the United States Supreme Court, although he lost, has the trappings of a turning point in how organizations deal with people who are openly gay.
Ami Dar Founder/Executive Director Action Without Borders paratrooper in Israeli Army; president, Aladdin Knowledge Systems; Public Interest Pioneer 2000, Stern Family Fund.

Neal Denton Executive Director Alliance of Nonprofit Mailers B.A., Ohio University; staff member, U.S. House of Representatives; served on U.S. Postal Service Mailers’ Technical Advisory Committee; recipient of the Postal Service Industry Excellence Award. With the National Federation of Nonprofits merged into the DMA and thus fewer coalitions to have to build, postal mangers have to worry about the Alliance even more. The other problem for USPS folks is that he’s smarter than they are.

Fuller has been awarded many accolades since he founded Habitat in 1976. The largest monument is the homes of the 85,000 families in more than 1,900 countries. His seven books about Habitat for Humanity give not only a nonprofit but also a philosophic blueprint.
Bill Gates Chairman and Chief Software Architect Microsoft Corporation Dropped out of Harvard University in his junior year. Devoted energies and founded Microsoft in 1975. He also sits on the board of the Icos Corporation. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has endowed more than $17 billion in support of philanthropic efforts in the areas of global health and education.

With the anticipated retirements of Betty Beene at United Way and Harris Wofford at the Corporation for National Service, and Colin Powell’s possible role in the next administration, Goodwin, and not just by default, is the professional face of volunteerism.
Fred Grandy President and CEO Goodwill Industries International, Inc. B.A., Harvard University; U.S. House of Representatives; actor. Grandy, who will be leaving Goodwill in November, has stood for the rights of many causes in his five years at the helm.

Florence Green Executive Director California Association of Nonprofits president, Nonprofit Management Association; co-founder and board member, National Council of Nonprofit Associations; member, California Nonprofit Policy Council.

Ann E. Kaplan Research Director AAFRC Trust for Philanthropy B.A., Wesleyan University; M.P.A., Baruch College-CUNY; Tax Reform Research Group; director of admissions and placement, Manhattan Country School; policy analyst, New York State Senate Subcommittee on Privatization. The only comprehensive, up-to-date measurement of the sector right now is Giving USA, and Kaplan heads up the project.

Maehara President and Chief Executive Officer National Society of Fund Raising Executives B.A., University of Hawaii; chief executive officer, Epilepsy Foundation of America; vice president of development, Project HOPE; chairwoman of the executive management council, American Society of Association Executives; she is a Certified Fund Raising Executive.

Also, it looks as though the organization is coming out of a quiet period to defend the profession.
Jan Masaoka Executive Director CompassPoint Nonprofit Services president, San Francisco Foundation Community Initiative Funds; author, All Hands On Board; vice president, San Francisco Telecommunications Commission; editor, Board Cafe.

He also worked to further watchdog groups.

Negstad President and CEO Lutheran Services in America B.A., Concordia College; M.A., University of Minnesota; executive director, Association of Lutheran Social Ministry Organizations; executive director, Minnesota Social Services Association; vice president, services, Lutheran Social Service Association; executive director, Western Illinois Region, LSS of Illinois.

Patricia Read Executive Director Colorado Association of Nonprofit Organizations B.A., Rockford College; M.L.S., Columbia University; vice president of program services, The Foundation Center; executive director, The American Reading Council; marketing and development director, The Feminist Press; chairwoman of the board, National Council of Nonprofit Associations.

D., University of Wisconsin, Madison; visiting scholar, Department of Sociology, Harvard University; distinguished visiting professor, Indiana University Center on Philanthropy.

It was Schmidt, with some support from the sector, who has helped make the Form 990 more readily available for public inspection by putting it online.
Bill Shore Founder and Executive Director Share Our Strength B.A., University of Pennsylvania; J.D., George Washington University, chairman of the private sector task force, President’s Summit for America’s Future, chief of staff for Sen. Robert Kerry (D-Neb.); legislative director and political advisor for the senatorial and presidential campaigns of Gary Hart.

Bennett M. Weiner Vice President and Director, Philanthropic Advisory Service Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc. B.S., Cornell University; advisory committee, National Center for Charitable Statistics; national spokesperson on charity accountability for the CBBB.
