Leadership development, managing volunteers effectively, and fundraising and
grant writing.
Smile, these are three areas I know I need help in.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] professional development books
I I am writing to let the list know what a great conversation I just had
with Janice. For you new folks, Janice is one of the staff at
bookshare. We spoke about a lot of things, including much having to do
with bookshare staff and volunteer communications.
She asked me to let you know she and John read the list even if we do not
always hear from them.
She also wants to know what suggestions folks may have for books having to
do with professional development which bookshare can then acquire and add
to the collection.
I came up with a couple of ideas:
* books having to do with business start-up in general and starting up a
particular kind of business in particular.
examples: how to write for magazines, how to get short stories or poetry
published, how to begin a start up editing other folks' writing
* taking certification exams such as the ones offered by Microsoft. How to
pass the LSAT, SAT and GRE exams, things like that.
* how to use the internet to promote your new business, advertise and so
forth.
* exercise, fitness and nutrition books (perhaps a grant from someone
involved with health, seniors and health, health and disabled?). Blind
folks cannot see exercise videos so we particularly can use well designed
exercise books on a variety of topics such as yoga, palates, and other
exercise.
Janice asks we think about other possibilities.
all the best,
E.
