THANK YOU WEEK – Looking to Hire? My Job Description

What a wild week! I would like to conclude THANK YOU WEEK here at 501derful.org by posting one of my favorite documents. This is what I was hired to do while I was at the American Cancer Society : Director of Online Communications. Of course this changed over time. A LOT!  I came to supervise the Manager of eRevenue and the Manager of Interactive Media (while mentoring them both) and a Social Media Intern. My final title was Director of Web, Film and Interactive Strategy.

However this was the orginal document and makes a great platform to change and adapt. So go out and hire your own Online Communications person.  Edit and modify it as you see fit.

Leave me comments on what you want to see in our next THANK YOU week.

THANK YOU WEEK – Volunteer Web Site Policy

A lot of non profits are torn on this..torn like an old sweater.

Do you let your volunteers and fans run their own Web Sites? Do you not? Do you make them register? Do they have to sign in blood? Can they use the logo? A variant of your logo?

Over at the American Cancer Society we debated all these things (well not the last one) and decided that once some of our legal team retired ; -) it would be a good thing to do. So here is the policy I came up with for my six states around Volunteer Web Sites. Enjoy and modify as you need it.

Just make sure to credit me and the Blog when you can!

Planet Cancer and Lance Armstrong Foundation Make it Official: We’re Teaming Up to Serve Young Adults with Cancer

The Lance Armstrong Foundation is increasing their commitment to the cause of young adult cancer, and they’ve invited Planet Cancer to officially join the LAF team and start running our programs on a global scale. All your favorite Planet Cancer programs will still be around, we’ll just be running them from a different address. More important, with the power of LIVESTRONG backing us up, we’ll be supercharged and able to reach even wider, redoubling our efforts to find every young adult diagnosed with cancer and to spread the word in the medical community about the unique needs and issues of young adults.
