Nonprofits become an essential part of life for many people in need and working in one brings great experiences. Working in management for a nonprofit takes dedication in many aspects and wanting to serve for others. One nonprofit organization that I imagine myself working for is the Make A Wish Foundation. Taking on the role as part of management working as a main manager in the wish team means having a love to give back and help kids with critical medical conditions make their wishes come true.
1. The mission statement of Make A Wish Foundation says that “wishes are more than just a nice thing. And they are far more than gifts, or singular events in time. Wishes impact everyone involved - wish kids, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical …show more content…
It includes working with nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations and other government entities. As a mayor, I want to make sure that my city is growing and doing things right to help the community and so collaboration with all the different organizations needs to be effective. One way that I would plan and/or oversee collaboration is by fostering a creative atmosphere that will build cohesion and get to understand the strengths and weaknesses of all their organizations. “Rather than focusing on operationalizing tacit knowledge, greater emphasis needs to be placed on new ways of talking, fresh forms of interacting, and novel ways of distinguishing and connecting”(Agranoff, pg.127). When working with each of the types of organizations, if I can make it a fun and interacting way to help collaborate that works for the city is something that I hope to do.

Two ethical principles that I would implement into my role as mayor are 1)”fully inform and advise my city” and 2) “advance professional excellence”(ASPA Code of Ethics). I want the citizens of my city to know that they get all information possible because it helps everyone feel included and I also feel responsible for informing the public of situations going on in the city.

Being a professional and representing my city is an excellent position to be in and I always should look for ways to improve myself and also others. Advancing professional excellence is important as mayor because if I can improve others on their professional experiences, then their jobs either in the nonprofit sector, public sector or government sector will hopefully be more successful. I want my city to be successful and safe and attractive to others outside the city and so that when they see
