(From the April 2008 Newsletter)
With the launch of Social Venture Partners International “My Sites,” a new philanthropy networking tool has been born. My Sites allows more than 2,000 Partners around the world to easily find and connect with others who share interests in ‘giving back’ to the community.
While many people belong to resume-focused and personal sharing networks -- a la LinkedIn and Facebook -- none of these helps one find, contact and learn from both budding and seasoned philanthropists throughout the SVP network. Partners will be able to see which of their peers have worked as Executive Directors in the nonprofit industry or developed marketing campaigns for Fortune 500 companies. They’ll also find be able to find folks with expertise in strategic planning and board development as well as rock climbing and organic gardening. My Sites invites users to share personal interests with one another as well as manage and store documents, content, links and contacts.
SVP International will regularly feature a Partner profile on its Intranet so Partners are urged to get started on their My Site profile today! Partners may get connected by contacting Diane Selden, SVPP Partner Engagement Manager.
