The Networked Nonprofit Book Arrived!

Yesterday,  an advanced copy of our book, The Networked Nonprofit, arrived.  My son, Harry, who is in video making summer camp, decided to make a little movie of me opening the book!

Book Winner

Today, I taught a workshop in Santa Cruz hosted by the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz and supported by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.  I, of course, raffled it off in exchange for people filling out index cards with their planned first steps into social media.  The lucky winner was Lorraine from the local chapter of the Red Cross.

Help Us Launch The Networked Nonprofit With A Splash!

You are invited to a virtual book launch party! Join Allison Fine and me on June 21st at 1-2 PM PST/4-5 PM EST for the launch of  The Networked Nonprofit published by Jossey-Bass.  The virtual launch will take place on Twitter (#netnon) and Ustream (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/networked-nonprofit)

If we get a single  pre-order for 100 or more copies of the book from one individual, we’ll jump in the pool (with our cloths on – we aren’t Esther Williams look a likes!).   We’ll do this live on camera (but get out of the pool off camera).  It will work like this, for the first pre-order of 100, I’ll jump. Second order of 100, Allison will make a splash. (email the Amazon receipt to me at beth AT bethkanter dot ORG)

Our party goal: Make The Networked Nonprofit a top ten bestseller in Amazon.com’s business book section before the book is issued (Official release date: July 6).   And if you are going to buy a copy, please wait until the party and to preorder your copy on Amazon.  Together as a group we can make The Networked Nonprofit a business bestseller! Plus,  I’m donating all of my profits to the Sharing Foundation, which helps to care for Cambodia’s children. Allison is donating to the Hope for Henry Foundation, which provides gifts to children in hospitals with chronic diseases.

More Incentives!

NTEN has created t-shirts and we’ll be giving away  the t-shirts to the first 25 people who purchase five or more copies and email me (beth at bethkanter dot org)  the Amazon receipt.

Remember Esther Williams?

Help us make a splash on Launch Day!

Are you going to Personal Democracy Forum?

For six years, I’ve wanted to attend the highly regarded Personal Democracy Forum, but had scheduling conflicts. But pinch me, I’m attending this year – in New York on June 3rd and 4th to take part in the conversations that are driving real changes in technology, governance, and the non-profit world. Allison Fine and I are giving a keynote on the Networked Nonprofit, the title of our soon to be published book.

The line up of speakers and agenda is nothing short of amazing.  Highlights will include:

An in-depth look at how the internet fosters freedom and democracy, with speakers from all sides of that debate: Jimmy Wales, Julian Assange, Daniel Ellsberg, Evgeny Morozov, Ory Okolloh, Ethan Zuckerman, Cheryl Contee, Newt Gingrich, John Perry Barlow and Clay Shirky.

Shop talk from online innovators from both sides of the aisle, including Markos Moulitsas, Arianna Huffington, Jane Hamsher, Mindy Finn, Rob Willington, Todd Herman, Natalie Foster, Stephanie Taylor, Dan Cantor, Eli Pariser and Ryan Gravatt.

Visions of the networked future from thinkers like Howard Rheingold, Tim O’Reilly, Aneesh Chopra, Nick Bilton, Bernard Avishai, Craig Newmark, Esther Dyson, Anil Dash, Jen Pahlka, Bryan Sivak and Susan Crawford.

More than two dozen breakout sessions on everything from online skills development for beginners to hard-core political technology development, plus in-depth looks at political media, internet-driven organizing, and the emerging world of “We.gov.”

Micah Sifry has made me an offer I can’t refuse.  He has set aside  a limited number of tickets that I can offer to my readers at a discount: $100 of the regular price of $595 ($495 for non-profit and government employees).  To save $100 on registration, tell your readers to go here and use the following code: KANTER

Will I see you in New York for PDF on June 3-4th?
