This webinar is the third in our Online Storytelling Bootcamp. During this webinar, we'll take everything you've learned and see what you've come up with! We'll explore lessons and storytelling experiences as we review 4-5 of our participants' stories. The group will provide feedback and we'll look at ways to take your stories even further! This session will also culminate in an Affinity Group at the 2010 NTC, where participants will present their stories to a larger audience.

Presented by: Roger Burks, Senior Writer, Mercy Corps and Michaela Hackner, Senior Project Officer, Forum One Communications

Roger Burks is senior writer for Mercy Corps, a global relief and development agency. Over the course of a 15-year career - which includes stints with CARE USA and the U.S. Peace Corps - Burks has traveled to more than 25 countries to research vulnerable populations, conduct field interviews and write stories for a variety of audiences. He is committed to helping foster a new movement in journalism that focuses on human dignity and solutions to global challenges.

Michaela Hackner is a Senior Project Officer at Forum One Communications, where she leads strategy and web development projects for foundations, government, and non profit organizations. In her former life she was a web developer for the private sector, with a stint in humanitarian aid analysis, and a couple years overseas working for a women's micro-finance program in Cambodia and Kenya. Shifting to a focus in international development related work in 2005, Michaela recognized the need for technology expertise within non-profit organizations - both in terms of marketing and communications purposes, and for the delivery of services to constituents/beneficiaries. Taking advantage of her varied background, Michaela seeks to make the internet and technology accessible for all non profits and their audiences as well as exploiting it for the good of humanity.
