My appologies. It has been some time since I last posted an article to my blog. Last week I was in San Diego, CA with my family visiting relatives. This event was planned well before I parted company with United Cerebral Palsy and it was better to proceed with the trip and recharge the batteries […]
I normally don’t post many humorous things here on this blog, but I felt that this one was necessary as it relates to how important regulations are in the modern era and how much this relates to the BP incident in the Gulf of Mexico. Rules and regulations are something that we often take for […]
Recently, I came across another thread from the Progressive Exchange listserve that I couldn’t resist posting about here on Williteration. The question that arose was at what time during the week is a good time to launch a mass e-mail from a platform such as Convio eCRM platform, or one similar to it, such as […]
Recently I wrote a response to the Progressive Exchange Listserve regarding the question of whether or not to convert an active e-newsletter into a blog. The short answer, in my opinion is yes, you should convert your regular e-newsletter into a blog. But only if it makes sense for your organization to do so. For […]
Mark Hrywna of the The Nonprofit Times recently published an article titled, “Social Network Fundraising Creating Jobs” reviewing the “Nonprofit Social Network Benchmark Report,” released recently by Portland, Oregon-based Nonprofit Technology Network (NTEN), ThePort Network in Atlanta, and Common Knowledge in San Francisco.

I just read this article entitled, “Day in the Life of a Successful Job Seeker” at Careerealism and it got me thinking. Have I been doing many of the things listed here that are considered “activities proven to be worst use of time for job seekers?” I certainly have been combing the job boards on […]
By now, I hope that it is apparent that I am actively searching for a new job. In April, due to organizational restructuring, I left United Cerebral Palsy. I have been doing a lot of thinking and everyday, I have been efficiently using my time to search for a new job/career through sites like BradTraverse.com, […]
A couple of events have happened to me recently. Graduation from graduate school being one of them, I decided it was time to update my résumé to modernize it as well as reflect the goals I have now that I hold a Masters degree in Public Administration. Recently, I came across an e-newsletter from Doostang […]
What mortality/injury rate is acceptable to meet safety standards in the quality of our roadway infrastructure? In our cars? In the products we use everyday? The homes and buildings we occupy? The toys we let our children play with? With the recent introductions of Data.gov, Recovery.gov under the Barack Obama Administration and the Program Assessment […]
Originally restricted by the confines of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Obama Administration, through the Office of Management and Budget, recently released a memorandum to all federal agencies that affirmed an original memorandum issued by President Obama on January 21, 2009 calling for “a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration” as part of the […]
I visited the Nonprofit Execs on the Edge blog recently and found a post entitled, “Nonprofits: a checklist of what not to say – ever” and after watching this video, it got me thinkning.
On Wednesday, I lead a discussion about online fundraising for United Cerebral Palsy as a part of the national office’s monthly development conference call. The event was a success by personal standards. However, a few things came to my attention during the call that I had not realized prior to conducting the call. Many UCP […]
While I was building my personal Web site here at WillHull.com, I was also exploring new ways to increase my networking capability in the “real world,” post-graduation from graduate school. As I am experienced with many social networking techniques and new media strategies, I decided to look for a group of alumni on the LinkedIn […]
Yesterday, my Masters Degree arrived in the mail from George Mason University. Even though I completed my coursework in December 2009, the degree was conferred on January 9, 2010. Does this make me a smarter person? That is anyone’s guess. However, it does demonstrate that I am willing to apply myself in any prolonged endeavor […]
