A video excerpt from a presentation by Tom Watson, Journalist, Author, Consultant.

America’s Charities recently hosted its 2012 Membership Assembly at Georgetown University, where several guest speakers shared their experiences, presented practical, innovative solutions concerning non-profit sustainability and offered successful approaches for non-profits and companies to better engage volunteers, donors and employees.  This video is a small excerpt from one of this year’s conference guest speakers, Tom Watson.
