    Here is a sample of presentations I have given at various conferences or contributions I have made to web sites and organizations.  Unless otherwise noted, you will need Adobe Reader to open the following files.


    Note: In many cases, these presentations are dated and include my opinions at the time the presentation was given.  If you have questions or wish to cite anything in these presentations, please contact me for my current viewpoints.

    Also, a webinar from July '10 is embedded below. It deals with the topic of using technology and social media to engage and reconnect with lost constituents. This was intended for an audience of higher education fundraisers, but could be reworked for and considered by other non-profit sectors.

    Some notes:

    • Obviously this does not include the speaking portion of the presentation and, therefore, may be missing some context and good deal of the information I shared verbally.
    • Some portions will not be included, such as the question/answer session, etc.
    • Please provide feedback, so that all can benefit.
