Social change & nonprofit calendar: June

Events guide for nonprofits & social change outfits

Here’s a roundup of conferences and events scheduled in the nonprofit and social change sectors for the month of June. For the full year, see: Calendar of 2010 social change conferences.

On Wednesday I’ll be co-presenting the Mobilize Your Cause Bootcamp — today’s the last day to register — at Personal Democracy Forum in New York.

Even if you can’t attend a conference, you should be able to follow part of the proceedings on Twitter — type in the name of the event in Twitter Search and look for the hashtag associated with it (then click on it).
