As a nonprofit leader, here’s why I practice the ‘Joy at Missing Out’
I used to love being “on the scene.” I wanted to go to every New York City nonprofit professional meeting, conference, gala – both to see and be seen. I was curious about what my colleagues were doing and their latest program innovations, and I was interested in the politics of individual organizations and of the New York City nonprofit sector writ large. I wanted to know who was looking for a new job, who was retiring, and who was starting a new organization. I used to say that my main professional skill was expert gossiping – my move was to learn who was working on what – and then to tell other people what they were doing so they could collaborate or learn from each other. It was meant for good – working towards the promotion of ideas and relationships in and across the sector – and it was a lot.
Post(ish)-COVID, and as I have gotten older, a lot of this feeling and a lot of this activity has faded for me. I now experience something much more akin to JAMO (Joy At Missing Out), than my old sense of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). If there is someone else other than me who can take a meeting, represent our organization, go to a gala, or lead a a presentation at a conference – I am usually thrilled. I don’t even feel the need to know how it went, or who was there – unless there is a practical reason I need to follow up.

Controversial new state bail laws that some politicians say lead to offenders getting released and then rearrested actually had the opposite overall effect, according to a new study of criminal justice data (Gothamist) … A city council member from Queens is calling for the resignation of a state assembly member after a report alleging sexual assault allegations involving him (Gothamist) … The number of school safety agents stationed in New York City public schools plummeted more than 20% during the pandemic, a decline that Mayor Eric Adams is not planning to reverse, according to a report (Chalkbeat) … The state Senate stabbed Gov. Kathy Hochul in the back with a one-house budget that excluded many of her top priorities: bail reform, the charter school cap and suburban housing mandates. Instead, the proposed budget included a number of progressive policy proposals that the governor had ignored, including “good cause” eviction protections and health insurance coverage for undocumented immigrants (City & State)
