TOOLKITS & GUIDES FOR HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES

The Panel on the Nonprofit Sector has released "Principles for Good Governance and Ethical Practice: A Guide for Charities and Foundations." The Guide represents the first time that charities and foundations reflecting a broad cross-section of the American nonprofit community have come together to develop principles of ethical conduct, accountability, and transparency that they aspire to and encourage all organizations to follow. The Guide outlines 33 practices designed to support board members and staff leaders of every charitable organization as they work to improve their own operations. The Panel encourages these leaders to examine the Principles carefully and determine how best they should be applied to their own operations.

Training Guide from the National Institute on Aging Helps Older Adults Find
Health Information Online

Health issues are a vital concern for older adults, and surveys show that
most of those who go online search for health and medical information.
However, since only 34 percent of people age 65 and older are online, the
majority of older adults are missing out on valuable health information. To
broaden the numbers of older adults able to search for and find reliable
health information online, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) has
developed a free training curriculum for those who teach and work with
older adults. This Toolkit for Trainers is now available on
NIHSeniorHealth.gov, a senior-friendly Web site developed by the NIA and
the National Library of Medicine (NLM), components of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
