Dangerous Ideas

Just saw this on a mailing list …

Craigslist Foundation is hosting a “Nonprofit Boot Camp”. That link is to the Acteva page; they also have a page on the event on the Craigslist Foundation web site, but it strangely does not have a link to sign up (that I saw as I was posting this).

The cost is $50 per person, and the event takes place at UC Berkeley. From the sign-up page:

Boot Camp Highlights:

• 1300 emerging nonprofit leaders and social entrepreneurs
• Seminars and workshops on how to to start and run a nonprofit
• The involvement of leading local and national nonprofit support organizations as track co-presenters
• An Exhibit Hall featuring organizations that serve nonprofits and social enterprises
• Community Lounge, featuring Career Counseling and Ask the Experts
• Networking Reception with complimentary hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and entertainment
• Eco-friendly event

Speaking of eco-friendly, I was pretty impressed that they have both vegetarian and vegan meal options!
