We are pleased to announce that UniversalGiving founder and president, Pamela Hawley will be the keynote speaker launching Craigslist Foundation's first annual Nonprofit Boot Camp on Saturday, October 23, 2004. The one day event is designed to help nonprofit executives develop the necessary skills, as well as form mutually beneficial relationships, to effectively run their organizations.
Hawley will draw from her experience of developing web-based organizations, including the prolific VolunteerMatch and most recently, UniversalGiving, www.UniversalGiving.org, to discuss how to leverage the Internet to build community and a successful nonprofit.
Hawley will be introduced by San Francisco City Supervisor Tom Ammiano.
For the San Francisco nonprofit and volunteer community, October 23 will signify a momentous occasion as Mayor Gavin Newsom will officially proclaim the day as "Nonprofit Appreciation Day" in recognition of the Foundation's commitment to philanthropy.
