Hello DC, I am posting this on behalf of my associate Roz. This is a pretty amazing project, and what seems to me to be a pretty solid networking/sales opportunity. I intend to participate, and would love it if you would consider the same.
From Roz:
If you'll be in DC Friday, March 9 and can offer a few hours to help 3 organizations transform their use of technology for organizing, please sign up to be an NOI " guest consultant":
This opportunity is part of NOI's next online organizing and tech training, coming up March 7-9 ( agenda). The training is shaping up to be amazing -- with over 50 organizations including NAACP, Sierra Club, ONE Wisconsin Now, and the League of Young Voters participating. A critical piece is supporting the implementation of the training in participants' day-to-day work. As a leader (or specialist) in this field, you can help.
Agenda: http://neworganizing.com/mar07.php
Invitation: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dsvqtzk_23ht4rfp
When you sign up as a guest consultant, we ask for a short bio and your areas of expertise. Trainees will choose the consultants that best match their needs. On Thursday, March 8, you'll receive implementation plans from 3-5 trainees. Friday, March 9 from 11:30AM-1:30PM, you'll meet with those trainees to offer assistance in refining (or revamping) the plans. Lunch is included and it's fun :^)
I know you're not all in the DC area, so please share this widely with other experts and leaders in the field. Thanks for helping build a stronger progressive movement.
