Holiday Greetings from your Friends at APEP

Wanted: Suggestions for Future Advocacy Evaluation Breakfasts
Many thanks to those of you who attended last week’s advocacy evaluation breakfast with our colleagues from the United Nations Foundation. A terrific presentation + hot coffee + tasty breakfast treats = some very happy (and awake) campers. Now looking to 2012, we’d like to encourage you to suggest topics for future breakfast events. Got a bright idea? Send Robert a note at robert.medina@aspeninstitute.org.

E-Greetings
Here’s a nice twist on the holiday greeting to partners, clients and service providers: a law firm doing a little good and generating a little good will. Sending an e-card is good for the Earth – though bad for the US Postal Service – and the money saved on postage is going to a worthy cause.

That’s All Folks! (For Now)
This will be APEP’s last “So What?” of the year; but don’t despair, we’ll be back better than ever on January 6th. Also, mark your calendar: starting the second week of January, AEA365 will feature several posts on advocacy evaluation by members of the AEA’s Advocacy and Policy Change Topical Interest Group. Best wishes for a happy holiday. See y’all in 2012!
