This weekend I participated in a Webinar about the book The Whuffie Factor along with author Tara Hunt where we discussed how the ideas apply to nonprofits. Of course, being in touch with our supporters in so many ways means we'll also be able to thank them in just as many ways!" This is a youth-run organization that works in the DC area.

Last week, NAS brought 25 people (including me) to Washington to discuss what issues might be appropriate to cover in the report, which is at least 3 years from hitting the press (assuming it receives funding).
