The past week was all about major nonprofit, philanthropy, and social good conferences. We've covered the annual conferences of Emerging Practioners in Philanthopy (EPIP) and the Council on Foundations. So here's a shout out to the Skoll World Forum, AFP International Conference, and Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP) Annual Membership Meeting.
On a personal note, yesterday marked the first time I walked without crutches in two months (after rupturing an Achilles tendon). Have a listen to Walk by Foo Fighters while perusing some of my favorite tweets:
