I will be e-chatting on the Chronicle of Philanthropy website about the Social Citizens paper next Tuesday, May 27, from 12—1 p.m. EST.

I’d love to hear your thoughts about the paper, maybe even a challenge or two — and a prize for the most unusual (but still relevant!) question — I am the judge and jury on that one! I’ll post the link to the comments section when it goes up this weekend.
