Planning Madison's Nonprofit Day

This is a follow-up message to those who were planning on attending Wednesday's 'Planning Madison's Nonprofit Day'.

The planning period for Madison's first Nonprofit Day has kicked off. The first meeting was held, Wednesday, 20 May at the Goodman Community Center. We're sorry you weren't able to make it, but no fears. The bulk of planning for the August 21 event will be done online, so you can participate, even if you can't make the face to face meetings.

To that regard, the following decisions were made at Wednesday's meeting:

(1) Facebook combined with Google Docs will be used for the planning of the actual day. I've established a Facebook Page: Madison Nonprofit Day: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Madison-Nonprofit-Day/85465952031, and

(2) Eight primary workgroups for those interested in helping with the planning and organization of the day have been established: (i) purpose, (ii) sponsors, (iii) logistics, (iv) activities, (v) media, (vi) participants, (vii) experts, and (viii) speakers.

Please 'Fan' the page to receive updates and notices, and join a workgroup or multiple workgroups. I've written purpose statements for each group.

To officially join a group, please post: Join 'Workgroup Name' to either the Wall of the Madison Nonprofit Day page, or as a reply to Workgroup itself, to expression your interest.

Workgroups are on the Discussions Tab of the Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Madison-Nonprofit-Day/85465952031

Please contact me with any questions. My email is: allgood2-at-gmail.com or you can phone (608) 241.3616.

Looking forward to planning with you.
