March 26, 2009 (Week 3)

 
 

• This Week I learned a lot about organizational structures and how organizations handle "big decisions."
  
• The ADL leadership meeting talked about the difference between a trust and an incorporated society. Link: ADL Meeting
  
• The meeting with Claire taught me a lot about crisis management and the media. With the bad publicity her work had gotten, she needed advice from Philip on how to handle the release of the report that basically cleared her name and said she had been defamed. She had to re-evaluate what she wanted to do with it and how to handle the PR- should she continue? Modify? Or completely leave line of work? Philip also helped her with some PR stuff, such as a media release w/ Diversitywork's support.
  
• The meeting with the CP Society confirmed some of my concerns with the whole CM project. As a grant funder, Harvey talked about the things he would need to pitch continued funding to the board. Marketing of the CM website was a major concern of his, and I agree with him. I think it will be difficult for CM to pick up and generate returning traffic in this medium, without spending a ton money on publicity and advertising.
