Tech Questions To Ask As You Plan Your Virtual Event
When choosing what tech platform(s) to use for your virtual event, the overarching question to keep in mind is: will you search for one platform that is all-encompassing?

Interning at PBP
No matter your level of experience or your choice of careers, you should be learning from your work and co-workers every day. As an intern, your entire goal is to learn and experience firsthand the desired industry you want to enter, gaining understanding of the industry and work that goes into accomplishing tasks. While interning for Powered by Professionals, I assisted all team members with assigned tasks, with a focus on event data tracking and mailings.
Standards for Charity Accountability
Standards for Charity Accountability were developed to assist donors in making sound giving decisions and to foster public confidence in charitable organizations. The standards seek to encourage fair and honest solicitation practices, to promote ethical conduct by charitable organizations, and to advance support of philanthropy. The main objective of these standards is to assist a charity’s representations to the public in making sure they are accurate, complete, and respectful. This means solicitations and informational materials need to be truthful and not misleading in any way.
