- As nonprofit groups draw up employee guidelines for how to use online social networks, organizations should “keep the lawyers out of it” and give staff members some freedom to explore Twitter and other tools, writes Mitch Hurst, a Chicago nonprofit communications consultant, on his blog.
- As charities and grant makers seek the input of poor people about how best to fight poverty, more nonprofit employees who grew up in tough economic conditions should speak up about what they have learned, says Albert Ruesga, president of the Greater New Orleans Foundation, on his personal blog.
- On eJewish Philanthropy, writer Tova Serkin explores the potential of online giving.
- While Generation Y is not necessarily smarter than people from other age groups, more people from that age group are now on the job, and they may indeed be smarter than entry-level people during previous decades, says Ian David Moss, a Rhode Island arts consultant. His views appear on Createquity, a Web site about arts and society.
