Great Fundraising Events Can Fully Load the Major Gift FunnelBloomerang
https://bloomerang.co/resources/speaking/
Fundraising events have become an increasingly important and ubiquitous tool for nonprofit organizations.
But what is it that ultimately makes an event “successful?” and how can events provide new and potentially exciting forms of value for participants?
This session will dive into new Bloomerang-funded research from the Rogare Fundraising Think Tank at Plymouth University, which outlines for the first time what overarching factors may have a part to play in distinguishing genuinely outstanding fundraising events from merely ‘average’ ones.
Learning Outcomes:
Discover how your own efforts compare with an international focus group
Learn the critical success factors that lead to event success
Uncover key recommendations for creating memorable experiences
Speaker: Althea Rizzo, Geologic Hazards Program Coordinator, Oregon Emergency Management
Public education has consistently been shown to be an effective emergency preparedness and mitigation
strategy when done well. This presentation will give the attendees an effective road map to developing,
implementing and evaluating a public education and outreach program. Using real world examples, the
presenter will show best practices and how to design your outreach campaign to create positive
preventative action by the public.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

about
time... Welcome to the Take 25 Campaign
Every year, nearly
800,000 children
are reported as missing
to law enforcement.
That’s more than
2,000 children per day.
While many of these children are recovered quickly, there are many
who never return home. To ensure these children remain in the
hearts and minds of the public, in 1983, former President Ronald
Reagan declared May 25th as National Missing Children’s Day.
This day serves as a time to renew efforts to reunite missing children
with their families, remember those who are still missing, and make
child safety a national priority.
To commemorate this day, the National Center for Missing &
Exploited Children® (NCMEC) launched Take 25, a national
grassroots campaign encouraging parents, guardians, communities,
and others to take 25 minutes to talk to children about safety.
With a focus on prevention, Take 25 provides families and
communities with the tools and resources to initiate an on-going
dialogue with children about safety.
We invite you to join the thousands of organizations, agencies,
and individuals who have already brought the Take 25 Campaign
to communities throughout the United States and abroad. Getting
started is easy. Enclosed you will find a step-by-step guide to
help plan your Take 25 event(s) as well as a complete list of FREE
materials available to event organizers. You will also find Talking
Points and Guidelines Governing a Take 25 Event. We ask that you
read and abide by all of these guidelines as you are planning and
executing your Take 25 event.
As the Take 25 Campaign continues to grow, involvement of local,
regional, and national partners is critical. We appreciate your
participation and look forward to working with you as you plan
your Take 25 event(s).
