On-site trainings:

• One of the biggest bargains around is the Craigslist Boot Camp. Given around the country throughout the year, Craigslist Boot Camp features the some of the best-known experts in nonprofit everything, plus some other celebrities that add spark to a day of all-out-learning.

  Craigslist Boot Camp's next performance is Saturday, June 20, 2009 from 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM (PT), UC Berkeley. Find out more and register.

• Purple Duck Marketing is doing some onsite workshops in the Seattle area. If you are near there, check out their June marketing workshops. Any group willing to call itself "purple duck" anything deserves a look, at least in my book!

We will be announcing more learning opportunities here throughout the summer.
