Academy Fellow Celebrates Fifty Years of Public Causes

Academy Fellow Brian O’Connell shares the priceless lessons he has learned during a lifetime of third sector experience in Fifty Years in Public Causes: Stories from a Road Less Traveled. O’Connell’s memoir traces his remarkable life in public service, from his early forays in the non-profit sector to his ascendancy as national director of the Mental Health Association, and then as founder of the Independent Sector.

Told through fascinating personal stories, O’Connell’s memoir includes a strong mandate to his successors in public service. He offers his readers the lessons he would emphasize for those who take the journey on that road less traveled.
