It is a group of efficiency experts and out of the box thinkers. There are about 60 people and this is the type of question I envision the group assisting with.

Very thoughtfully done. I would just share a comment made by my friend, Susan Berliner, who has been involved in several mergers within the Central Texas nonprofit sector over time. When I asked Susan about the idea of too many non-profits in Austin as mentioned to me by donors, she responded that we are not asking the right question. And the right question is, "As a community, are we providing nonprofit services to those who need them in the most efficient and effective way?" I have to agree with Susan! Great article.
