Workshop given at the Willamette Valley Development Officers Annual Conference May 17, 2012.
Helping nonprofits to think strategically using a venture philanthropy mindset
While an effective board has always been important, it is especially essential in periods of economic turbulence. Board members who offer independent insights from their own experience, and provide access to external resources are critical to management when making decisions key to organizational viability. Building and sustaining a high performance board requires an investment of time, the right leadership and a thoughtful strategy. It is important to align the board’s role and its members’ expectations with the nonprofit’s stage of organizational development. Without proper stewardship, tension can arise when what an organization needs from its board transcends members’ understanding of their role .

It has been said that Social Media is the future of advertising. .docxchristiandean12115
It has been said that Social Media is the future of advertising. What is your opinion of social media? Does it empower or exploit?
I believe that Social Media can be both and operates on a fine line. For those over the age of 18, you are aware of the information you are putting out there and the privacy levels of which it is shown. I personally am not bothered by the targeted advertising of which social media is the vehicle because I choose what I participate in and what information I am offering up. For the younger audience that is less aware and more malleable it can work both ways. It can be a great outlet to further self expression, but it can also be detrimental in influencing young minds to look to external sources for self acceptance.
Is social media really worth the kind of money that investors are paying?
Yes, as we move away from print and cable, social media and streaming services are becoming the easiest way to get marketing impressions. If done successfully, items or campaigns trend and reach a huge audience for a lower cost.
Explain what “Like”ing someone’s post on Facebook means to you.
For me "like"ing is a way for me to express my interest in something someone shared. I am fairly selective about liking and only do so when I agree with something, fing entertainment from the content, or have an emotional connection to something shared. I only like content that resonates with me. For some others I think "like"ing something is just a way to identify they read or watched the content and were listening.
Does knowing others “Like” what you “Like” influence you? Explain.
I would not say it particularly influences whether I like something, but does expose or impress upon me new content I might be interested in. I find I enjoy content of those who have common "likes" since we have similar taste. Facebook actually use an algorithm to gear your feed to show content of those who you "like" more. For example, during the presidential elections you likely got more content that agreed with your viewpoints as you liked others who had similar viewpoints and that content then got prioritized on your feed. This can be good because you may not be interested in content of which does not resonate with you, but also bad in limiting your viewpoint.
How do companies use social media to advertise?
Mostly, social media is used by companies to produce targeted marketing through big data or as a vehicle to create trendy content that catches like wildfire. For example, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, which raised awareness and donations for ALS by inciting popular content people wanted to be involved in. Marketing till social media was largely hands off, now it's all about the power of the people.
Is social media empowering or exploiting teens?
I think it can be on both ends of the spectrum. From their perspective I think most teens feel they now have a vehicle for their voice and a way to express themselves. From a more adult perspective I.

An introduction to recruiting and using skills based volunteers for nonprofit agencies. This presentation was developed for the 2009 Mental Health Corporations of America. Inc. Summer Conference.
2. Basics of Non-Profit Organization: Difference between For-Profit and Non-Profit organizations, Characteristics of Non-profit Organizations. Factors affecting development of Non-Profit organizations, Challenges of managing a Non- Profit organizations, Factors responsible for success of Non-Profit organizations, Skills and abilities of the leaders of Non- profit organizations, vision, mission, values and goals of Non-Profit organizations.
This presentation was made to the local AFP chapter in February 2009. The intent was to inform more than engage in conversation, particularly since very few people in the room participated in traditional or social media networking.
Deloitte University Press’s recent “Global Human Capital Trends 2014” report identified that re-skilling HR is a “top three” priority for enterprises worldwide. Yet only 15 percent of organizations say they are ready to respond to this trend, and even fewer (11 percent) say they are ready to implement workforce analytics.
What is driving this trend? How does the re-skilling of HR relate to workforce analytics?
In this webinar, workforce analytics experts Dave Weisbeck and Ian Cook will explore:
HR’s evolving role, from tactical to strategic player.
Key drivers of the “datafication” of HR.
Connecting the dots between strategy and analytics.
How to develop analytics acumen within HR.
Approaches for accelerating the adoption of analytics.
Becoming a truly strategic business partner.
Turning numbers into action: Case study examples of HR as a strategic partner.

Social innovation – innovative, practical, sustainable, market-based approaches that benefit society, with special focus on the vulnerable — is gaining traction by companies and governments alike.
• What distinguishes social innovation from more traditional approaches to solving social problems?

How to Network Like Your Life Depends on In (Cause it Does!) francescapasha
This presentation was used for the #SSNetworking Skillshare class taught by Katie Felten of Hashable and Jodi Jefferson of Workbridge Associates.
"In this class we will demystify networking, and teach you why you should see it as fun, not a chore. Learn how to make the people you already know lead you to people you want to know, and most importantly, how to do all this effortlessly, without feeling like you're job-hunting or annoying people. We will also cover how to utilize many of the social media platforms that make connecting easier than ever. You will see how connecting people becomes second nature with a little practice, leading you to connections with people you didn't even know you were looking for and helping others along the way. Understand the importance of getting out of your office and making connections with people today that might not pay off for a year."

of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
