Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hey everyone!The Activist Showcase we had April 4 at the SPCA was great, and we already have some key projects that are coming out of it -- the most notable is an enthusiastic and revitalized KFC campaign, but there are others that are in the works too. It was suggested that we have these somewhat regularly -- every couple months or so. I will be away for most of the summer, and my schedule is super full in May, but I want to put the word out there that I'd like for us to have another one and make this a regular happening! It's a great way for people to meet each other in person and discuss collaboration, as well as to be re-inspired what others are doing and reach out for support for a project or campaign you're working on or interested in. I'm writing now because I'm looking to hand this project off to a person or, preferably, a team of people who can put on the next one. It wasn't much work to plan, but it does take some planning. I'd be happy to walk you through it all, and I'd love to attend if possible but just not coordinate as I did last time. Please write back to me if you're interested -- either in stepping into a leadership role coordinating it or on being on the team of people who does. It's a perfect opportunity to get to meet a lot of other activists, to develop your own leadership skills, and to lead a project that can make a big difference for animals.
