Thursday, January 15, 2009 from 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM (ET)
New York City is the hub of media and marketing and home to some of the most influential and passionate people in the globe. We want to kick off the New Year by getting all the do-gooders together to discuss ways in which new media is playing a role in activism and social change.
Guest Speakers: Dr. Bruce Charash
Dr. Charash is the founder and Chairman of the Board of “Doc to Dock” a non-government organization which collects medical supplies from the American medical community (doctors, hospitals, and the pharmaceutical industry) and ships them to health care providers in developing nations (throughout Africa).
Dr. Charash is also the founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Apple P.I.E. (Partners in Education), a non-profit initiative directed at improving science education in public schools by creating and providing teachers with a free curriculum supplement explaining their grade level science curriculum.
You don't have to be a blogger to be part of the cause. All are welcome. Maybe you just started out in the non-profit world, volunteer on the weekends, call yourself a new media junkie, or hold the door for an elderly person on your way to work. Whatever it may be, if you're interested in social action and doing good come on by!
Our goal is to build a strong network of changemakers and changebloggers who will come together once a month to increase awareness for specific causes, offer consultation to optimize online channels, highlight specific topics of interest, and in turn, produce real-world change.
