Pimp My Nonprofit: How to Stay Involved Now that Your Candidate is President

The election's over, but the work has just begun. Are you ready?

President-elect Obama has called for citizens to get involved in addressing the most pressing issues of our time. Join us as we welcome featured guests AmericaSpeaks, who are working to help the Obama administration connect with the voices of everyday Americans. As a national nonprofit, AmericaSpeaks has engaged over 145,000 citizens in an innovative, non-partisan face-to-face meeting method called the 21st Century Town Meeting. They've been experimenting with how to leverage the power of the internet to scale up our work to engage citizens in decision making.

We'll have drinks and snacks, (thanks to our sponsor, GeniusRocket) and in exchange we'll be asking YOU to help AmericaSpeaks vet some ideas for online engagement of millions of Americans. You might even pick up some useful tips while sharing yours.
