EPIP NCRP Implicit Bias in Grantmaking Slides - WebinarEPIPNational
How Does Implicit Bias Influence Philanthropic Effectiveness? How well do you know your subconscious? Why does it matter? Proven science tells us that our conscious commitments to fairness and equality can be undermined by subconscious assumptions we may not even be aware. Slides by EPIP, NCRP, Crystal Echo Hawk and Perception Institute.
Forget pitching your editor on a story. How about pitching a nonprofit foundation on a journalism project with social impact? How about pitching an investor on building a publishing platform?
This 90-minute workshop presented at AAJA on Aug. 20, 2015 was designed to help participants develop fresh projects that can gain a support base beyond the traditional newsroom.
This document contains examples of graphic design work including poster designs, magazine layouts, logo concepts, and t-shirt designs. The works showcase skills in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. Programs were designed for organizations at Frostburg State University promoting events and departments, as well as freelance client work. The portfolio demonstrates experience in layout, typography, and digital illustration for print and promotional materials.
14 years ago we saw the launch of Google AdWords which started with just 350 advertisers! In 2013, Google surpassed $50 billion in total advertising revenue which equates to a little over 85% of their total revenue figures for that year making AdWords their main source of revenue.
Google place a big emphasis on their users and the how important the customer journey is to them. This is becoming more and more evident as the years go on and website owners really need to embrace this if they want to compete in this competitive advertising space.
We are seeing more and more organic algorithm updates being launched, with many sites being hit by manual and algorithmic penalties. Googles stance on this is that they are trying to make the SERPs better and deliver more relevant results for their customers. Some would say that this is true, but the cynic in me believes that this is also being done to line Google’s pockets with more ££££. As sites get hit with penalties and their rankings and traffic diminishes, they need to change tact and step up their paid search marketing campaigns to recoup some of the lost traffic and revenue.
In this presentation, Samantha looks at why SEO’s need to pay attention to PPC and why PPCs need to pay attention to SEO. The two marketing channels should work in harmony together. At the end of the presentation you will understand how you can capitalise on some of the latest paid search initiatives and get an insight into some predictions on where paid search is heading in the coming years.

Thisted Municipality is a copybook example of local drive and initiative. That’s why it is also the cleanest municipality in Denmark.
Over 100 per cent of power consumption and more than 80 per cent of heat consumption is catered for without the use of fossil fuels.
The renewable energy comes from sun, wind, geothermal power and biomass. So success is the result of versatility and an intelligent use of already existing technologies.
In 2007, Thisted Municipality was awarded the European Solar Prize for its work on utilising renewable energy.
The document discusses using Twitter as an organizing tool. It provides examples of how Twitter can be used to share links and information but has relatively low conversion rates for driving people to take direct action like signing petitions compared to blogs. Twitter is better suited for conference communication, sharing information with reporters who may follow influential users, and experimenting with new organizing techniques like Twitter petitions and fundraising. The key is having a clear strategy and metrics for success rather than just driving clicks.

Homicide AssignmentInstructionsIn class, we will be discussiPazSilviapm
Homicide Assignment:
Instructions:
In class, we will be discussing various forms of homicide within the family. One of these was the killing of a child by a parent.
