Immediately after their webcast at 2 pm Eastern on Tuesday, join me

I've attended two of these events in the past. The speakers are top
notch. Last year, I had a booth on our BeNeighbors.org project:

(On a related note, CFLeads (a community foundation network) issued a
Call to Action - http://bit.ly/cfleadsengage - in July on community
foundation leadership to promote community engagement. As a member of
that panel, I was promoting deeper and more inclusive digital
engagement. To me, that is the missing link in Knight's Community
Information Challenge - http://infoneeds.org - too, building on
community foundation support for news and information and embracing
the role of community foundations as conveners and supporters of
innovative community engagement. Anyway, I am collecting examples of
place-based foundation leadership with online engagement for a
possible knowledge exchange project, send them along to:
