View this email in your browser
Welcome to September –

Hope you had a good summer – even tho summer is not quite over yet

To whose of you who joined the July CSR panel – thanks for your support! To those of you who are new to this listing – welcome! For the long time supporters,  we have some changes a foot.

September is always a good time for new starts. This month, I am updating the format of the newsletter so it will include more 1) than 1 months info 2) general info and 3)online  resource links. The e-newsletter will be sent out less often – just more info.  The changes are basically due to time,  In 2020 i hope to have an intern help get this out more often. (Have a student who might be interested in nonprofit research - let me know!)

This fall I will be doing more corporate community engagement programs as well as more on conflict mediation. if you would like to know more - drop me a line! Come 2020, i hope to have several new projects taking off.

In the meantime, i hope to see you at one of the events below !
Warm regards,
Sarajean
