Pros

Some of the programs, especially from the Foundation side are very important and impactful.

Cons

The consistent turnover within the organization is based solely on the lack of leadership and direction from Executive and Management team is the primary cause of this. Beware - you can get sucked in by the some of the good work that is being done by very competent and talented individuals but the overall culture and environment is toxic and unprofessional. The lack of transparency and suppression for innovative thinking is also indicative of a lack of leadership and forward thinking in the organization.

Thank you for your feedback. Local First Arizona’s nine person leadership team has been hard at work collecting internal feedback and composing an integrated and strategic five-year plan, including monthly and quarterly accountability and progression reports. Additionally, we have implemented a meeting and communication structure to ensure all team members are briefed on a weekly basis on developments at both the organizational level and inter-program level. We are proud of both the positive culture and the level of professionalism the team has exhibited - both toward each other and the communities we serve. It’s especially important as we tackle the challenges of working remotely during such a challenging year.
