Last week, I attended the 3rd Annual Nonprofit Business Summit presented by the Phoenix Business Journal.  The conference was a huge success, bringing together more than 500 professionals from the not-for-profit community in Arizona.  While I gained a lot of insight from the sessions and networking with others, the idea that resonated with me most was how strong of an impact technology is having on the not-for-profit sector. The keynote speaker was Jaime Casap, Business Development Manager at Google.  Jaime focused on how not-for-profits can use the internet and social media tools (like Facebook) to build relationships with their partners, participants, and donors

Now the GPCA (Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association) is holding a high-level workshop on the subject in Bahrain next month.

April 2010, Shawn Fremstad This report details how the dominant framework for understanding and measuring poverty in the United States has become a conservative one.
