Leadership

This week’s Leadership newsletter focuses on communication. First, when students went on strike in 1970 to protest the US bombing of Cambodia, there was no social media. But communications were as key to movements then as today. Next, connectivity is a crucial first step toward digital equity. To make internet access useful, digital literacy training is critical for the populations without regular online engagement. Then, in a time when the social media landscape is under scrutiny, it presents an opportunity for nonprofits to reevaluate how they use these platforms. Finally, register now for NPQ’s upcoming Remaking the Economy webinar tomorrow at 2:00 pm (EST).
