This document outlines a community action plan to create an online community for former Jesuit volunteers. It proposes building a website to facilitate participation, dialogue, and togetherness among volunteers who have moved to different places after their service. The plan details how to clarify goals, identify stakeholders, assess interest and demand, and adjust plans based on experience to strengthen the social organization and increase participation over time. The initiator hopes this virtual community can help address feelings of isolation from severed ties to former in-person communities and benefit those who contribute by allowing them to share stories and reconnect. The impacts are unclear but could include psychological benefits from new social bonds and connections.
We live in the 21st century, and volunteerism is shifting and changing to meet the times. More and more volunteers are looking for ways to use technology to support the missions they hold dear.
With the rise of digital volunteers, nonprofits need to have systems and practices that encourage, validate, and support this new trend.
We will review ideas and strategies that other nonprofits have used to capitalize on the digital volunteer. We will have plenty of time for live Q&A, so prepare your largest concerns for discussion.
At the end of this presentation you will have
An idea of what features your volunteer system should have
A good plan for utilizing small aspects of social media for large impact
Ways to engage volunteers with different time requirements.
Time banking is a system that uses time as currency to allow people to exchange services. Members join a time bank and list skills they can offer others. For each hour of service provided to another member, one time credit is earned that can then be spent to receive services from other members. Time banking aims to strengthen social networks and engagement while allowing useful skills exchanges. Setting up both online and offline time banking networks in Ireland could help address social isolation and provide mutual aid.
The document summarizes Martha Parker's presentation on integrated human resources and sustainability through people. Some of the key learnings and trends discussed include: 1) opportunities that arose when large corporations transitioned retiring employees to community placements were not fully leveraged, 2) volunteer boards have potential members who are not being engaged, 3) emerging leaders are being blocked by existing hierarchies, and 4) volunteer programs need to be integrated into overall human resources strategies. Parker advocates for a people-focused approach that values all staff, paid and unpaid.

Using Social Media To Enhance Your Marketingguest99a2b2d
Social media can enhance marketing by allowing two-way communication between businesses and customers. It is a way to build awareness, brand yourself, and drive traffic to your website. The top social media platforms are Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and Flickr. An effective social media strategy involves determining your target audience and objectives, choosing 1-2 networks to start with, building relationships by engaging with others and adding value over time. The goal is to use social media to build relationships, not make direct sales.
The document discusses issues with the governance structure and democratic accountability of large co-operatives. It questions whether the system of members electing area boards who then elect regional boards etc. can truly be considered democracy. It also examines why people may feel disengaged from democracy in large organizations and how co-ops could better empower members by offering a variety of ways for them to get involved through online and in-person activities. Several examples are given of co-ops that have successfully increased member participation in recent years.
The document discusses the importance of public engagement through social media for police forces. It notes that social media allows police to engage with communities, especially younger people, in online spaces where conversations are already happening. The document argues that by having a presence on social media, police can build public confidence, improve visibility within communities, and enhance listening and relationship-building with the public. However, it also cautions that police must develop social media strategies thoughtfully and address potential risks to their reputation.
The document discusses strategies for effective community relations for organizations. It recommends researching the community's social and political landscape, the organization's credibility within the community, and potential stakeholders.

The goal is to increase awareness of the organization, gain support from leaders, and create a positive relationship that can help if major issues arise.

The key is to authentically engage your targets through transparent, conversational interactions.
The document summarizes a presentation about how the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center used social media to engage donors and increase donor loyalty. The blood center created opportunities to thank donors publicly and build spaces for donor dialogue. By listening to donors and advocating for the community on social media, the blood center was able to create a sense of community and make its brand more approachable and portable. The blood center saw increases in donor engagement on its website and in donors telling their friends about donating blood.

In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
