Today marks the end of an era as the Center for Civil Society Studies ends operations following the passing of Center Director Lester Salamon. You can read our announcement here: ccss.jhu.edu/center-closing/ I'll highlight some important points in this 🧵:

The outcomes of the JHU Center for Civil Society Studies work reflect the collective perspectives of so many research partners. Les' contribution was to find the common core and set our course forward. He wanted this Voluntas Journal article to inspire action. Take these tools and use & improve them! [1/2]

We are indebted to our long-time and valued colleagues, Megan Haddock and Stefan Toepler for their dedication to bringing one of Dr. Salamon's final works to fruition.

Nonprofit workers have long been asked to “take one for the cause” and accept below-market compensation. Jon Pratt of GrantAdvisor and Minnesota Council of Nonprofits on why this must change: bit.ly/3u65MnE Charities Review Council JHU Center for Civil Society Studies

Calling all ISTR members! Very happy to share that our friends ISTR have planned an excellent series of panels and events honoring the legacy of late Center Director Lester Salamon during their July 2022 conference in Montreal! istr.org/general/custom…

Grateful for the memories, reflections, and call to future researchers from Matt Salamon, Lester Salamon's son, as ISTR renames the Emerging Scholar Dissertation Award in his name. JHU Center for Civil Society Studies #istr2022
