Connection Cafe

A volunteer who has been trained how to cut through the niceties that lawmakers prefer to let dominate a meeting (where do you eat, who’s your kin, etc.), But, in today’s world of digital over-communication and rowdy town halls overtaken by DC-based interest groups, one, two or even 20 Susans isn’t enough.

It's almost time for #11NTC - See you there?

Judi Sohn

It's in Washington, DC March 17-19, although I'll be arriving in DC on the 16th for an NTEN Board Meeting. It was in DC five years ago (2006) but I couldn't go because it just happened to be during Passover. With the conference in DC, it means that getting there and back is easy by train.

Tips for Remote Presenting

Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

If you are presenting remotely you need two things: a robust Internet connection and a moderator in the room who can serve as a bridge between you and the folks in the room. It is also helpful to have a back channel for communications with the moderator. In the past, I have presented remotely using skype audio and video.
