Are you a busy professional eager to serve a cause but think you don’t have the time or know-how to make a real difference?

Author Rob Acton shares his motivation for writing Becoming a Causie: Champion your Cause through Nonprofit Board Leadership - and how it might help you on your own cause journey.
CAU•SIE
noun
/’kaw-zē/
A Causie is one who makes an intentional, substantial, long-term commitment to serve their cause.
A Causie is on a mission. A Causie sees a need and has to do something about it. A Causie commits to a purpose larger than themselves. A Causie makes service an important part of their personal and professional journey.
To borrow from the musical Pippin, a Causie feels compelled to make their life “something more than long.”

Why Become a Causie?
Since founding Cause Strategy Partners in 2015, my team and I have helped thousands of busy professionals find their cause, focus their desire to give back to their communities, and recognize who they already are — a Causie — someone who embraces the deeply fulfilling work of creating a more just, vibrant, and equitable world.
I wrote Becoming a Causie for the millions of talented professionals and community leaders we will never reach through the company I lead. My driving force is to help individuals who have so much to offer find and serve their cause. I want them to use their valuable time, considerable talents, carefully curated network, and hard-earned resources to make an impact in the world.
In short, I want to help inspire and build a movement of Causies: busy people, just like you, dedicated to intentionally and meaningfully serving their cause over a lifetime. This book is meant to be a step-by-step guide to becoming an agent of change, despite their already full lives.

If you’re ready to commit to a purpose larger than yourself, Becoming a Causie is your guide.
