In a letter to the editor, TSNE's Hez Norton, who oversees our new Organizational Transitions program, suggests that there are many other -- and often more effective -- ways for nonprofits to share resources to better serve constituents.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tsne.wordpress.com&blog=1743574&post=442&subd=tsne&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[President Barack Obama signed the 407-page American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, better known as the Stimulus Plan, into law on February 17.

The act is indeed ambitious. In fact, the very size and scope that make the Stimulus Plan so ambitious also make it hard to know exactly how we in the nonprofit sector can best access funding to share in the process of recovery. But there are excellent resources available to help you figure out how your nonprofit can best use the Stimulus to strengthen your programs and better serve constituents.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tsne.wordpress.com&blog=1743574&post=406&subd=tsne&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you dealt with turning a long training workshop into a shorter webinar or call-in experience for remote participants? How have you structured these trainings, so that the remote folks could sign off in a place that gave them a fulfilling experience and caused the least disruption for the presenter and in-person participants?

Or have you found that people were willing to participate for a two- or three-hour training?
