Spicer’s blog post focuses on the need for non-profit organizations and their leaders to foster resiliency and build capacity in the face of the destabilizing effects of the COVID-19 epidemic. Spicer writes, “Crisis can create space for new opportunities as it makes the status quo untenable and creates the sense of urgency needed to drive change."
