Photo of the Day: Our Experts
Today is Day 2 of the
NextGen:Charity conference, so I trekked up to
Columbia University's Lerner Hall for a morning of workshops with nonprofit leaders. Some folks from Taproot and American Express were featured as presenters for one of the workshops on the topic of helping organizations to create and scale their own pro bono opportunities. I have to say, we really knocked it out of the park with fantastic information. Though not as inspiring as yesterday's short talks, the workshops were a great way to bring some practical application to the big ideas we heard the prior afternoon.
The rest of the day was a mad rush to get my affairs in order before heading to Houston for the holidays. Despite having to fly out of
Newark, which requires multiple transfers on several transit lines, the commute went smoothly, and I was on a plane home with time to spare. I will be using my week off to take a brief break from this blog (which, after all, is supposed to feature New York day-to-day), but I'll be back next Monday, November 29. I will, in all likelihood, still be taking photos in Houston, so check my
Facebook page for those updates. Have a very happy Thanksgiving, and I'll see you in several days!

I think you meant November 29th not December 29th.
