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!
Social Video and Public Relations : Your new required Skill Set

This will all be on Friday’s exam so please let me know if you have any questions in the comments section.
If you are not a student, feel free to enjoy the presentation as well!

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.
