How would you like to be the expert CNN, NBC and CBS calls to educate millions of listeners on the power of philanthropy?
 
Or, the expert who is considered one of the most sought after speakers and experts for major philanthropy and social innovation conferences?
 
Or, the expert publishers and online content providers seek out to share messages that inspire millions of people toward greater civic engagement?
 
Before you can become a national (even global philanthropy social innovation expert) - you need to be visible. You need a platform, or a way of reaching millions of people.

They have built national platforms and reputations. Meeting planners regularly hire them to speak, facilitate conversations, inspire giving, disrupt philanthropy and influence social change.
