Be the Change, Inc. looks to clarify relationship between ANSA and themselves
Posted on August 4th, 2008 by laur Tags: affiliation, Americans for a National Service Act, Be the Change, Home Depot Foundation, Inc., national service, Service Nation, Target, TIMELaurie,
I had a talk with a our leadership. They verified for me that ANSA is in part of our coaliation and nothing more. We are not an affiliate nor our the remaining members of our coalition.
There seems to have a misunderstanding between the folks at ANSA and us. We are working with clarify that and their website will be updated accordingly.
Best,

By definition, an affiliate is:
–noun
7. a branch organization.
8. Commerce
- a business concern owned or controlled in whole or part by another concern.
- a subsidiary
ANSA is an affiliate of Service Nation.
ANSA implies (regardless of the statement on their website) that Be The Change, Inc. is an affiliate of theirs.
How could Be The Change, Inc. be an affiliate of Service Nation when they run it?
Even if ANSA is being deceptive it doesn’t change the questionable relationships there seems to be between the many coalition members and sponsers.

<a sarcastic comment that you would most assuredly hear if you discussed this topic with other people>You know xyz, just because you hate other people and don’t want to help out does not mean everybody should do that.</a>
On a more serious note, don’t forget about public service requirements sometimes implemented by high schools. You could consider them child slaves, that’s even better.

<snark>And the compulsory education itself isn’t, bosco? Wouldn’t that make you the slavemaster?</snark>

Just because I have high school students wash my car to meet the terms of their community service does not make me a slave master. Neither does that fact that they call me massa.
