Tuesday, 22 March

At some point in my conversations with the CEO last week about the upcoming panel discussion, we decided that I should read the speaker's book, Going Public, to prepare for the Discussion. I started reading the book over the weekend and haven't been able to put it down, spending a good portion of today reading it, too. It's a riveting collection of stories of his tooth-and-nail organising days. I find it, the impact he's had on individuals and the organisations he's helped form, inspiring. The IAF sprung from the ideology of Saul Alinsky, a radical grassroots organiser, whose movement started in 1940's America. It's excellent preparation for the upcoming panel discussion (which, I just realised, I will be missing because I'll be away from Spring Break- drat).

I also spent more time researching potential donors for FRC. I discovered Craig's List as a good source for this and spent a gross amount of time going through the site.

I worked 8 hours today.
