[Jgfamembers] JGFA ROUNDTABLE -- October 24, 5 pm PT/8 pm ET -- Mark Your Calendar

[Sean Fox]

JGFA MEMBERS,

 

As many of you know, we had a successful launch of the JGFA Roundtable
in the summer with a great session featuring Subodh Chandra talking
about his experiences running for Attorney General of Ohio.  

 

We are excited to announce our second JGFA Roundtable, which will
feature JGFA member Donna Michelle Anderson (DMA) and focus on the
promise of leveraging the internet to affect social change, especially
in the educational arena.  The event will take place on Wednesday,
October 24 at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET and will last between an hour to an hour
and half.

 

The session is titled Public Service 2.0 - Uniting Technology and
Activism.   In a few weeks, DMA (Gardner Fellow in '86) will take her
nearly decade-long college-assistance program online as an extensive,
evolved "goal network" that ambitiously combines community development
with advanced online and mobile interactivity and new media.  Join DMA
in a lively discussion about the promise and potential pitfalls of Web
2.0 and 3.0 as platforms for social change, particularly in the area of
educational access and equality.  

 

For over a decade, DMA has been a writer, producer and show runner of
non-fiction television for broadcast, cable and new media outlets.  She
is the co-founder of the Cornerstone Learning Center in Manhattan, now
in its 13th year of tutoring and mentoring underrepresented middle
school and high school students on the Upper West Side, and the founder
and director of First in the Family, which for eight years offered free
mentoring through the college application process to high school seniors
who would be the first in their families to attend four-year college.
First in the Family now is re-launching as The CLIC Network, an
extensive online experience uniting all the participants in the
college-bound and -matriculating process in a centralized, simplified,
democratized new "goal network."
