Chronicle hosts Live Discussions on Charity Marketing with Seth Godin

I received the email below from Peter Panepento of The Chronicle of Philanthropy about their upcoming event with Seth Godin. I encourage you to check out the links ... Peter is "one of the good ones," as they say:

I wanted to let you know about a live online discussion we’re having on philanthropy.com next Tuesday at noon Eastern time with Seth Godin. He’s agreed to take questions from our readers for an hour about marketing for nonprofit groups.

You can find out more here:

Along the same lines, we had a great discussion on the site today about appealing to women donors — and what charities can do to better communicate with women.

You can find that here:
http://www.philanthropy.com/live/2008/05/witter/

We are increasingly offering great information about fund raising through these discussions and I wanted to make sure you and your readers know about them.

Thanks for the heads up, Peter. I also enjoyed your blog, Global Erie:
