1. DCN Board Recruiting Now Underway
This is an exciting time for DCN right now! After carefully
considering our needs, we have initiated a search to add several new
board members in key areas. We are beginning concurrent searches
for candidates to lead our efforts in Funds Development, Outreach and
Promotions and Educational relationships.
All of us recognize that DCN requires a base level of annual funding to
provide the services that our stakeholders depend upon.
Strengthening our ability to successfully raise funding to better serve
the community is a top priority, so we are seeking an energetic Funds
Development Lead to help us in this important area. We also
understand that not everyone in the community knows about DCN and all
the good efforts to support valuable non-profit organizations in our
area. An Outreach and Promotions Lead will help us spread the
good word and increase our visibility so more people connect DCN with
the worthy causes and organizations that we support. Finally, we
are very fortunate to have a top-flight university and high performing
public school systems in our backyard. We want to strengthen and
expand our relationship with these vital stakeholders and an
Educational Outreach Lead will be key to our success in this
area.
We seek your help in this important initiative! If you or someone
you know of possesses the energy, vision and experience to help us move
forward, please share your thoughts and ideas by contacting our
recruitment chair, Brian Gegan, at (916) 549-3821 or Brian.Gegan@gmail.com. To learn more, click

2. DCN Summer Intern brings social networking tools to local
non-profits
Sarah Robinson, a UC San Diego student, has joined DCN as a summer
intern to refine and roll out its own Facebook presence, as a prelude
to adding social networking tools to DCN’s "Internet Toolkit" for local
non-profit organizations. Although Facebook's popularity started
out primarily among college students, its practical value for
non-profit organizations is evident in a growing subscribership among
them. There are many things to consider as non-profits explore
whether or not an investment in social networking tools makes sense for
their organization. DCN's plans to share its knowledge and
experience with those interested in pursuing it. If you are
interested in attending a class on this topic in the Fall, please send
your name and contact information to admin@dcn.org.
