- About Me:
- I arrived from Hungary to Earth Day Network (EDN) in this November. I have been working at EDN's Washington D.C. office as an International Fellow. I began my professional journalist career seven years ago. I was working as a news editor and reporter, then working for one of the daily newspaper of Budapest. Most recently I have been an editor-in-chief for Lélegzet (Breath) Environmental Magazine in Hungary. This magazine is published by Clean Air Action Group (CAAG), one of the best-known environmental NGOs in Hungary. Founded in 1988 by three local green groups, it is now a national federation of 126 NGO’s. (www.levego.hu) Last year I was working in Brighton (UK) for Carfree Network as a volunteer project assistant. My interests are: sustainable transport, sustainable urban development related to the global warming and climate change, protection of green areas in cities. Her special interest is theatrical arts.
At Earth Day Network, I coordinate Earth Day events internationally, and take part in program design and implementation, specifically with regard to the growth of EDN’s green schools initiative internationally, and EDN’s Adopt-A-Water-Project Web Portal, which we will launch in the Spring of 2008.

Thank you very much for the advice. Do you think the following main themes of my long message are "spams": (1) my academic background for internet users to know that I am a professioal to work on "Everyday is Earthday Project !" which is one of the "Integrated life-long-learning" for any family or any community can do right away through organizing a study-circle at home or in the community. (2) All of them are based on the Total Quality Management(TQM)(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Quality_Management), Organizational Learning(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizational_learning) of modern management science, and modern Neuroscience (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience), participating in all kinds of learning & educational activities, sports activities and cultural activities can improve and release human potential . So it’s for everyone's and Mother-Earth's goodness to create a new link to creative learning & educational activities to solve the Mother-Earth's problems ! Some people are interested in that, such as the following person said as follows:

Frank,
Thanks for your email. There is a lot of good information there and I plan on using a little of it in my presentation tomorrow.
As far as adding you to my friends list...I plan on it, as soon as I find out how. Yesterday is the first time I've visited this site and don't know my way around yet. But give me an hour or so to find everything. Once again Thanks
Pat
I took part in a festinating event organized by Nonprofit Roundtable and Young Nonprofit Professionals Network of DC. The theme was “Change, Baby Boomers, and Emerging Nonprofit Leaders: Debunking the Myths. 100 nonprofit leaders joined the interactive discussion that brought existing & emerging leaders together for coordinated learning & action.
The problem: According to research conducted by the Bridgespan Group, Meyer Foundation and Annie E. Casey, there will be a severe deficit of executive leadership available to the nonprofit sector in the next decade. At least three out of four executive directors plan to leave their jobs within the next five years and about half of current younger leaders plan to leave the sector altogether. Baby Boomers (born from 1946 to 1954) are set to retire and the next generation is ambivalent about stepping up to the plate. So, who will replace these exiting executive directors and take up the torch in the nonprofit community? What will the future of nonprofit leadership look like? What is the different between the ways of thinking of the Baby Boomers and the new generations?
Just one example:
Younger leaders are trying to figure how organizational decision making can be more participatory to reflect the values of their work. Older leaders may have tried different organizational forms, but have for the most part ended up with a more hierarchical model with power concentrated in the director.
Here you can learn more about the issue from the study called Generation Change and the Leadership of Nonprofit Organizations

Thanks for your message and for asking to use a qoute for the Earthday Organisers Guide, which of course you can use.
I look forward to seeing how Earthday unfolds this year.
Go well
