Of last month’s blogging workshop, one participant said, “The Writer’s Boot Camp was exactly what I needed: a little bit of structure, a little bit of free form, and a lot of inspiration. Mary Beth and Kelly did a great job facilitating exercises to help us individually as well as facilitating our class to help each other. Since the class was relatively small, yet very diverse, we were able to offer a range of informative perspectives. I took away many helpful exercises and goals, which I’m still utilizing and implementing.” -from Whitney Hunter-Thomson
The workshop is led by Mary Beth Coudal, who co-owns and operates the Writers Boot Camp. Mary Beth is a blogger whose essays have been published in the New York Times, Salon.com, and Self magazine. She believes in the power of dangerous and authentic writing to transform lives.

Getting a new organization started can be tough – how do you find the right people? How do you deal with payroll and benefits? How do you keep the people you want and get rid of the ones you don’t? This event will help social enterprise organizations make those decisions, understand how and where to post jobs and find the right employees or volunteers, and how to avoid common mistakes in hiring.
