MSU Non-Profit Communication & Fundraising Survey

I’m working with Professor Wendi Tilden at Michigan State University’s Professional Writing Program and the Writing, Rhetoric & American Cultures Department to develop a monthly nonprofit communication workshop series designed to bolster the effectiveness of area non-profit organizations. We’re currently surveying executive director and management staff in Greater Lansing non-profits to ensure the workshops meet educational and professional development needs and stay affordable. Are you a non-profit executive director or manager? Take the survey here.

As part of my role as a Local Consultant with the Michigan Food Hub Learning and Innovation Network, I am excited to partner with the Allen Neighborhood Center and Michigan State University Extension on hosting a series of co-learning sessions in 2013. We’re calling the project the Greater Lansing Food Hub Learning Circles. Click here to view a PDF overview of the project.

Complete Streets + Road Commissions

Yesterday my writing appeared in a guest post over at My Wheels Are Turning, a blog about public space curated by Gary Howe in Traverse City, Michigan. The piece focused on the opportunity for Michigan complete streets advocates to seize on new legislation that allows county governments to dissolve road commissions. Moving policies at the county level has been a major challenge to Michigan’s complete streets movement. I hope a few advocates will use the piece as inspiration to work toward complete streets at the county level. Thanks to Gary for the opportunity to share my analysis.
