Welcome Walden University students
Today I have the privilege of joining a panel presentation for a group of Walden University doctoral students. Walden is the oldest accredited online university and the academic offices are located right here in Minneapolis. The students, staff, and faculty are meeting on the U of M campus for their summer residency.
If you came to the session today and you’d like more information about Parents for Ethical Marketing, you can read this post or explore the website. If you’d like to stay in touch, sign up for our monthly newsletter and action alerts.

I think it’s terrific that you linked to Beth’s blog. She’s got a lot of working knowledge, and is favored by many. Her blog is a useful tool for non-profits.
Have a wonderful Saturday!

Lisa - I really wished I could have made it to the presentation you participated in. I saw it in the program, but unfortunately didn’t have time (as I’m sure you can imagine.)
Just wanted to let you know I heard great things!

Brenda, thanks. I heard things went well for you too. You’re getting to be an old pro!
