Announcing The Seven Days of Blog

My birthday is on March 29, and that is usually cause enough for me to celebrate on that day. But this year, I have something really great to be excited about!

What is that you ask?

Well, I'm really excited to announce that March 29 will be the first day of the inaugural Seven Days of Blog on The Association Innovation Blog. Beginning on March 29, I will post everyday for seven consecutive days, and the best part is that I am entertaining your suggestions on the topics on which I blog! I want to know which issues are most important to you, and what kinds of things you want to read and listen to over that week.

How do I share my thoughts you ask?

Great question and one with a simple, simple answer! All you need to do is post a comment to this blog posting at some point in the next few weeks, and I will read it. I will give serious consideration to all topic proposals and I will try to post on as many of them as possible. So get involved...set the agenda for this conversation...engage in the very challenging work of thinking big!

I hope you will enjoy the Seven Days of Blog! It should be fun...and if it goes well, it could become a regular thing!

Cecilia:

What can you tell us about arts organizations so I can try to share some thoughts?

Hi, Jeff.
Another idea for the "Seven Days of Blog" festival:
As you know, there is a vast and vibrant arts community in the DC area, and they are almost all under the umbrella of "non-profit" even though they are not associations. I worked in the arts section for 18 months and enjoyed it because of the exposure to artists and creativity. However, I did see a lack of management/business discipline.
What do you think the association section of the community can teach the arts section, and vice versa?

Here's the link to the article if others want to see it:

It's in the Washington Post archives already, but was published on Feb. 19, 2004, if anyone wants to get the paper copy.

Hi, Jeff.
Just checking out the site again and had an idea for you to consider for the big "Seven Days of Blog" Festival.
I recently saw an article in the Washington Post about how the Japanese do EVERYTHING with their cell phones now, including watching television. The photo that accompanied the article showed a group of twenty-somethings watching the Prime Minister's speech LIVE on their picture phones.
Do you think picture phones could someday replace annual meetings??
