I have this problem with a creditor for a legally obligated debt incurred when I was sick. What happens was I then started a DMP Debt Management Program through a nonprofit.Essentially I made large payments every month which were a very largeportion of my income - 30% as a low income person. I finally came to about 340.00 dollars left and paid the rest through the DMP in April. What happened in the meantime is they did not credit two checks one for 150.00 and the other for 155.00. I asked them in the interim and after the balance paid off if they would send me a refund when they found those checks and they said yes immediately so I paid that balance knowing it was overpaid. Now it is nearly eight months later and they are giving me the run around. Every time I get a different response. The latest one is that they sent the check back as a refund to my 3rd party nonprofit and the nonprofit DMP has no record of such. I am rather sick of dealing with these people and gave them a 30 day demand letter with my intent to sue (for triple damages) allowable by the state of Massachusetts if they ignore me. Is this a case that is likely to be easy?


I am pro-say in a lawsuit against the city of Austin, and public access community television. The actions of management or just any legal, selling city property. Spending thousands of dollars for equipment no one else use the management. This is a nonprofit organization squandering money. I asked for open records from the city of Austin, and was denied access to public records.


I'm debating between a Masters of Social Work, M.A. Nonprofit Management and M.A. Counseling. I'm thinking the Nonprofit Management is more my area cause I'm not a good foot soldier in the battle to help and I think I'd be better at it, but there isn't many jobs in that field. I don't know what to do.


I am currently enrolled in a software engineering degree program at my school. However I am interested in maybe doing something with nonprofit management or maybe just management. I have transferred three times already and I'm already in my junior year. Is it possible to get my bachelor's in software engineering and getting my masters in something completely different? Any insight is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!

EDIT: I'm still interested in engineering, I just have an inkling that I'll be interested in something to do with non-profit down the road. Is there such thing as engineering for non-profits? :-D (wouldn't that be nice)

I want to apply for an internship that has to do with real estate, construction management, and financing in Urban Planning for a nonprofit housing development corporation in Los Angeles. I study Urban Planning, Criminology, and Sociology, and Minoring in Spanish, I've been around sports all my life, I like to travel, and learn the basics to computer programs...think I can pick this up as another tool?

Would you?


In 1994, I left college, but was still allowed to go through graduation ceremonies, some hours short of completion. Now that I see it, I have basically 30 hours or a full year of undergrad left. I really wrangled my way into the line for grad. Naturally I never got a diploma for my empty folder. But, my whole family thought I had graduated.

I have worked as a freelance writer, holding myself out as having a degree in English. I got 2 books published 4 and 8 years ago, I have published articles, blogs and business and grant proposals. I have done mission trips and ministry work with my writing, and am up for a major journalism fellowship (I did not pretend to have a degree on that application). Lately, I have felt very guilty about pretending to have a degree when I don't.

Due to serious illness in our family, the construction and publishing markets (my husband's and my work) and a variety of other factors I'm not going to detail here, our family is on welfare right now. As a bit of background, I have not been offered a full time job in five years in spite of my best efforts. I get part time jobs easily and freelance writing jobs easily -- they just don't pay enough for us to pay our bills. My husband (who remodels houses but doesn't charge near enough to support us) and I have to cooperate with the job placement plan in order to keep getting welfare. It's not that the few hundred dollars is such a big deal, but under the program, and since I don't have outstanding student loans, I can go back to school and finish my degree with distance learning through a university about 40 miles from here. I can take online classes or some classes at a center in my town. It will actually take about 2 years because I have to earn 45 hours at this new school to graduate from it. This program offers adult learners courses at the upper undergrad levels and counts whatever coursework you've done to meet the core education requirements. You have to have completed 60 hours to get in and I've completed 98.

Here are possible majors available to me:

1. English. Pro: it was already my major and I have a lot of work done in it. Con: I don't see how it will get me farther than I am now. I'm already a published author and journalist and not making enough money at it. I can already get hired for writing jobs based on my talent -- not to brag, it's just a fact.

2. Psychology -- Pro: I like people and helping others. Con: I have absolutely no hours in psychology right now and would have to start with Psych 101. Like all of these, I have the educational core done, but would have to take a bunch of psych and other social science courses.

3. Business administration. I do have nonprofit experience but my lack of degree has kept me from ever getting a job with it. I have no interest in business courses, I'm bad at math, possibly too chaotic for accounting, but I would make more money I think.

4. Teaching certification -- I would go for secondary English. Pro: very easy for me to finish up and possibly steady work that I'd enjoy. Con: Our local school district cut a bunch of teachers this year and I don't want to uproot the kids. I quit the teaching unit when I was at uni before because I didn't think I would be the best teacher.

5. organizational management -- like bus admin but less accounting and other drudgery. Might help me grow my writing business or get a job with a cool organization.

What's your advice? Hope it wasn't too long. I tried to break it up into a lot of paragraphs. Thanks!

I get the feeling from talking with Take Charge America (a nonprofit debt management/credit counseling company) that my creditors will be more willing to work with them than they are with me. What I am asking from my creditors is realistic (waiving of some fees, lower interest rates, etc.) however they are not willing to cooperate. According to Take Charge America, they will be able to consolidate my payments into one and submit proposals to my credit card companies and lower my rates and get me out of debt in just over three years. Is this the case? Are credit card companies more willing to work with a Debt Management Plan program than they are with me? if so, why is that the case?


I would like to start a nonprofit organization for older teens and young adults (15-20) to help them learn independent living skills such as money management, banking and budgeting, resume writing, getting a job, getting an apt, after high school options, etc. I have worked with kids and teens and 1 thing I am noticing most is that these kids are not being taught these sorts of things. I have lots of ideas and pretty much have the program I want to run all planned out. I want to start working with social workers and foster agencies first but I have no idea where to begin. Can anyone help me out and point me in the right direction? I live in Las Vegas, Nevada (where social services are hard to find and really really needed)

e-mail me dovelylady217@yahoo.com Ia��m also always (by phone) on yahoo messenger

Thank you!


This is what I am working on for a college course and do not have a clue where to start. Any guidance and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Given:

You and two other individuals have decided to start a company that will provide management consulting services to nonprofit organizations. The company will have approximately 15a��20 total employees. Since many of your clients will be paying you from funds provided by government sources, you have decided that it would be appropriate to have an ethics program in place before you start offering services.

Task:

Develop an ethics program (suggested length of 5a��7 pages) for the given company in which you:

A. Develop an appropriate standards and procedures section, such as a code of ethics.

B. Develop a section that has a plan for an appropriate ethics training program.

C. Develop a section that discusses systems to monitor, audit, and report misconduct.

D. Develop a section that has a plan to review and improve the ethics program over time.


My band received an invitation yesterday to participate in a compilation cd these guys put together called 11th Hour Confession. The minute we got it we were skeptical and have been looking into it. If anyone else has ever gotten this same message or has any information about these guys, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Here is the message we recieved...

Hi,


I heard your song, a�?NEW Take Me With You COVERa�? and I am very impressed with it. We are currently working on a benefit compilation CD titled a�?11th hour confessiona�?. It will feature emo artists from across the scene. I believe that your song would be a perfect fit on this project and I would be honored to have you take part.

My name is Joe Bird, and I am a project manager with Quickstar Productions, as well as a musician. Quickstar Productions is a company that specializes in designing music-marketing campaigns and supplying digital distribution services for record labels and independent artists. In 2005, Quickstar Productions released its first Comp CD as a way to promote unsigned artists. This CD was extraordinarily successful in accomplishing its mission! Over the years the company has built off that success and perfected a marketing plan to maximize exposure for the artist. Quickstar Productions is based out of Baltimore, MD and is an active member of the Maryland Better Business Bureau.

a�?11th Hour Confessionsa�? is a CD designed to raise money and awareness for the charity called, To Write Love On Her Arms. They are a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping those that need help with depression, addiction, and suicide, find help. Over the past few years they have been able to help thousands.

We really want this CD to benefit those affected by depression, self injury and suicidal intentions, but we also want it to be advantageous to the artists on it as well. Therefore we have designed a complete marketing plan for the CD. a�?11th Hour Confessionsa�? will be marketed and made available in the following ways:


1. PHYSICAL SALES: You will receive 50 copies of the CD to sell at whatever price you choose. These will be professionally produced, retail ready CDa��s. We recommend selling them for $8. That way you can make $400. You keep 100% of your sales. This is a great way to get more merchandise to sell at your shows and also a way to target other fans in your genre. The idea is that when each artist sells their 50 copies, the other artists on the CD will have their music exposed to other fans of your genre of music. Therefore, your song will be exposed to many new listeners.


2. DIGITAL SALES: The compilation will be made available for sale in all digital stores including iTunes, Rhapsody, Wal-Mart, Napster, and Amazon. Your song will also be available as a ringtone that your fans may purchase. You will receive 50% of profits generated.

3. EXPOSURE: The CD will be sent to record labels, marketing, and management firms. Along with the CD, a booklet featuring your picture and bio will be made available so they can learn a little bit more about you. In addition, free promo copies will be handed out at concerts in the Baltimore/Washington area. Quickstar Productions will also promote the album through the use of MySpace.


4. RADIO: The CD will be sent to college and internet radio stations and be featured on various podcasts throughout the world.


5. NETWORKING: Developing a network with other musicians is key to ones success. This comp CD is a chance to do so. You will be provided with all the other artistsa�� information before the CD is released so that you can start show swapping with one another, networking and helping each other out.


To have your song included on our upcoming compilation CD please visit our website, Quickstarproductions com, to download the submission forms. We do not charge a fee to be on a�?11th Hour Confessiona�? but we do ask that you purchase 50 CDa��s to distribute at cost ($165). That way we can cover the costs of the project so that as large of portion of the proceeds can be donated as possible. This will be the only cost to you. One of the most important parts of this project is getting the CD into the hands of fans. The more CDa��s that you are able to distribute the more exposure everyone gets.
Please check out www QuickstarProductions com for more info on this compilation. Since we plan to release this CD as soon as possible, we ask that all submissions be returned by March 15th. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions. We appreciate your interest in helping To Write Love On Her Arms help others.

Rock on,

Joe Bird

Well... this is a bit of history, read all, please.

I'm moving out and the management office guy told me the lease is unbreakable. He told me there are no penalty payment nor other fees... only completing the lease or sublet.

I went to tenant.org and asked them for help. My lease is breakable because the apartment / building fails in some musts. In addition, they must show my apartment after my written notice, and for sure they will not.

Today, the management office guy called me, he was trying to intimidate me telling me that if I leave, he would place a collection and ruin my credit. He offered to me to pay two months and break the lease (which is illegal) I called my lawyer and he told me to do nothing but wait.

I know nothing will happen. This nonprofit corporation is rated as satisfactory in the bbb.

It supposed they need to sue me for eviction before starting any collection, right? tenant.org will bring enough proof that the landlord is lying... so I'm not worried about a possible hearing (in fact, in 99% of the cases there is no hearing at all)

Just I need to know, when can they start a collection?

Thanks!!!!!!!


I've been recently looking for some good Universities with a diverse Langauge Program. I'm mostly looking for Chinese and Arabic course and hope to major in one of the following:
International Relations
Nonprofit Management
International Development
Peace/Conflict Resolution

I'm not looking for the obvious Ivy League answers either. Something more reasonable?
If anyone has any suggestions it would be really helpful!
Thanks.

$2.25 billion for national parks. This item has sparked calls for an investigation, because the chief lobbyist of the National Parks Association is the son of Rep. David R. Obey, D-Wisc. The $2,25 billion is about equal to the National Park Servicea��s entire annual budget. The Washington Times reports it is a threefold increase over what was originally proposed for parks in the stimulus bill. Obey is chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.

$335 million for treatment and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.

$50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts. $4.19 billion to stave off foreclosures via the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. The bill allows nonprofits to compete with cities and states for $3.44 billion of the money, which means a substantial amount of it will be captured by ACORN, the controversial activist group currently under federal investigation for vote fraud. Another $750 million would be exclusively reserved for nonprofits such as ACORN a�� meaning cities and states are barred from receiving that money. Sen.

I have been in the nonprofit field for over 5 years (in fundraising, specifically) and am actively considering an MBA. Will this help me in the nonprofit sector? Or does experience still trump education?

I consider a masters of nonprofit management for bit but that an MBA would be more versatile and thorough.

If I entered into a program, I would like to continue to work full time.
Thanks for all of the responses!
I am looking at programs with nonprofit coursework or specialties that are in the Bay Area mostly (like USF, Haas and Presido) because I would before not to relocate.

Also, I am not worried about compensation too much. I know I will make significantly less than my corporate counterparts.

I hope to continue working for larger, more established nonprofits with larger development departments.

Madoff and Company Spent Nearly $1 Million on Washington Influence
Published by Lindsay Renick Mayer on December 15, 2008 5:51 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)
The man behind a $50 billion Ponzi scheme that has roiled Wall Street and shaken up the nonprofit world was also a long-time contributor to Democrats, the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics has found. Bernard Madoff was arrested last Thursday and charged with operating a fraudulent money-management business with which he advised investors, hedge funds and institutions, including charitable foundations. Madoff made a fortune, and he played politics with some of that money. In total, he and his wife, Ruth, have given $238,200 to federal candidates, parties and committees since 1991, with Democrats getting 88 percent of that. Overall, Madoff and other individuals at his company, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, gave $372,100 in campaign contributions since 1991, with 89 percent to Democrats. The firm spent $590,000 on lobbying in the last 11 years, all but $10,000 of it with the lobbying firm of Lent, Scrivner & Roth.

I only find articles on accountability in nonprofit organizations


I graduated from nursing school (bachelor's program) in 2006 but realized I did not want to be in the medical field. After working in the social research field (and being out of work for the last six months), I would like to go into case management. Not medical case management, but case management for a social service nonprofit - assisting homeless and formerly homeless people get housing, benefits, etc.
I have experience in most of the job activities (interviewing, creating goals and plans with clients, writing progress notes, etc), but all of it comes from the work I did as part of my nursing program, not previous jobs. My question: what is the best way to highlight those skills on a resume? From what I've read a functional format might be best because of my limited experience and work history gaps, but I am having trouble concisely describing my knowledge, skills and experience.
I would really appreciate any suggestions. I am excited to have a job in mind but am frustrated with writing a resume and cover letter.
Thank you so much!


the school I goto has an organizational management degree, would something like that be helpful? I want to work in a more management position with either animals or the homeless population


I joined the board of a tiny nonprofit of which I was a volunteer. I love the cause and thought that my business background would be an asset to the organziation as a board member. The nonprofit has no paid staff, everyone in the org and on the board is a volunteer. The treasurer of 5 years was looking to move on, so I volunteered to be the treasurer. Now less than 6 months later I'm miserable. The organization is a disaster from a management point of view, the board is ineffective, I'm the only one who knows anything about running anything and I simply don't have the time or desire to turn around this organization. I'd like to go back to being a general volunteer and quit my board seat. But if I do there is nobody to fill it, and my position is vital - I handle all donations, bills, financials, etc. What should I do? This is a *tiny* nonprofit, maybe 70 volunteers, 6 board members, budget of $50k a year. Please give advice!!


A friend of mine is getting a Master's degree in nonprofit management, what is that?


This is the most accurate site on Politics . They produce ONLY facts about the corruption of BOTH parties!>>>>Judicial Watch Announces List of Washingtona��s a�?Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politiciansa�? for 2007
(Washington, DC) a�� Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released its 2007 list of Washingtona��s a�?Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians.a�?

1. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY): In addition to her long and sordid ethics record, Senator Hillary Clinton took a lot of heat in 2007 a�� and rightly so a�� for blocking the release her official White House records. Many suspect these records contain a treasure trove of information related to her role in a number of serious Clinton-era scandals. Moreover, in March 2007, Judicial Watch filed an ethics complaint against Senator Clinton for filing false financial disclosure forms with the U.S. Senate (again). And Hillarya��s top campaign contributor, Norman Hsu, was exposed as a felon and a fugitive from justice in 2007. Hsu pleaded guilt to one count of grand theft for defrauding investors as part of a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme.

2. Rep. John Conyers (D-MI): Conyers reportedly repeatedly violated the law and House ethics rules, forcing his staff to serve as his personal servants, babysitters, valets and campaign workers while on the government payroll. While the House Ethics Committee investigated these allegations in 2006, and substantiated a number of the accusations against Conyers, the committee blamed the staff and required additional administrative record-keeping and employee training. Judicial Watch obtained documentation in 2007 from a former Conyers staffer that sheds new light on the activities and conduct on the part of the Michigan congressman, which appear to be at a minimum inappropriate and likely unlawful. Judicial Watch called on the Attorney General in 2007 to investigate the matter.

3. Senator Larry Craig (R-ID): In one of the most shocking scandals of 2007, Senator Craig was caught by police attempting to solicit sex in a Minneapolis International Airport mena��s bathroom during the summer. Senator Craig reportedly a�?sent signalsa�? to a police officer in an adjacent stall that he wanted to engage in sexual activity. When the police officer showed Craig his police identification under the bathroom stall divider and pointed toward the exit, the senator reportedly exclaimed 'No!'a�? When asked to produce identification, Craig presented police his U.S. Senate business card and said, a�?What do you think of that?a�? The power play didna��t work. Craig was arrested, charged and entered a guilty plea. Despite enormous pressure from his Republican colleagues to resign from the Senate, Craig refused.

4. Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA): As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee's subcommittee on military construction, Feinstein reviewed military construction government contracts, some of which were ultimately awarded to URS Corporation and Perini, companies then owned by Feinstein's husband, Richard Blum. While the Pentagon ultimately awards military contracts, there is a reason for the review process. The Senate's subcommittee on Military Construction's approval carries weight. Sen. Feinstein, therefore, likely had influence over the decision making process. Senator Feinstein also attempted to undermine ethics reform in 2007, arguing in favor of a perk that allows members of Congress to book multiple airline flights and then cancel them without financial penalty. Judicial Watcha��s investigation into this matter is ongoing.

5. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY): Giuliani came under fire in late 2007 after it was discovered the former New York mayora��s office a�?billed obscure city agencies for tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses amassed during the time when he was beginning an extramarital relationship with future wife Judith Nathan in the Hamptonsa��a�? ABC News also reported that Giuliani provided Nathan with a police vehicle and a city driver at taxpayer expense. All of this news came on the heels of the federal indictment on corruption charges of Giuliania��s former Police Chief and business partner Bernard Kerik, who pleaded guilty in 2006 to accepting a $165,000 bribe in the form of renovations to his Bronx apartment from a construction company attempting to land city contracts.

6. Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR): Governor Huckabee enjoyed a meteoric rise in the polls in December 2007, which prompted a more thorough review of his ethics record. According to The Associated Press: a�?[Huckabeea��s] career has also been colored by 14 ethics complaints and a volley of questions about his integrity, ranging from his management of campaign cash to his use of a nonprofit organization to subsidize his income to his destruction of state computer files on his way out of the governora��s office.a�? And what was Governor Huckabeea��s response to


I already have 2 graduates degrees (dual degrees that relate to nonprofit and public management). I am considering making a career change to a different field (health industry). How will employers look on the fact that I already have graduate education (which I guess to me is a form of saying this is my career and I want to do this for the rest of my life) and am returning to change careers? All of my professions are related to my desire to help others, but the day to day work of one career versus another makes a big difference in how happy I am (e.g. sitting at a desk versus going out and working one on one with those in need). I should also note I am not that old and have not been in this career that long. I don't want employers to look at me as someone who will constantly change jobs.....I want them to know that I changed my mind initially but am now committed to this new field. It will take me a few years to even qualify for the 2nd career bc of education I will have to complete so I will probably remain primarily in my 1st career a bit longer.
I should also note after the first response that the new field I would like to get into requires you to become licensed which requires that you get the degree. No way around the extra education.


I am moving at the end of this summer. A few of the places I am considering are below with my plans. About me: I have been working in nonprofit management, I have $32,000 saved up, I have no debt other than a small car payment, I have an associates degree in liberal arts, I am very liberal, I am 28 years old, good looking, and gay. I want a bigger gay community, a more liberal city, and a more exciting culture etc. Good weather would be nice too. Where should I move to?
Here are my choices...
Seattle: No friends there or a job. I just love the city.
Miami: Possible job there and I have a good friend there.
Boston: Very good friend there, no job lined up.
Houston: No friends there or a job. I like the city and the weather.

There's been some bad news lately about ethics in government.
The good news is, however, that it's not all bad.
The Ethics Resource Center has been studying ethics in the workplace for 85 years and the group just released their 2007 National Government Ethics Survey.
ERC President Pat Harned spoke about her group's findings on this morning's Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Jane Norris.
"There was good news and bad news. The bad news is that more than 50 percent of employees in the federal government observed some kind of misconduct within the last year. The good news is that the federal government fared better than their state and local counterparts -- but, nevertheless, one in two [employees] sees misconduct in the workplace."
What, however, defines 'misconduct'?
Harned says ERC's definition ranges from: abusive and intimidating behavior, safety violations, lying to employees by supervisors and conflicts of interest.
"When we ask employees if they've observed misconduct, we read them a list of different types of behaviors they might have seen in the workplace and so the number that we are sharing is based upon the percentage of employees who have observed at least one of those acts around them."
Another interesting finding of the survey: about 30 percent of employees who see ethics violations don't do anything about them. Harned says this is because employees either think that no one will take any action or that retaliation will occur.
"What's most worrisome about the findings from this survey is that, in government sectors in particular, more employees are in situations that invite misconduct. So, misconduct is high right now, but there's every reason to believe it will get worse unless intervention is taken."
Harned also notes that, since the ERC started looking at government employees in 2000, there has been a consistent rise in the trend of their definition of misconduct.
The problem, according to Harned, goes deeper than just training.
"There certainly has been a lot of attention put towards putting formal programs into place -- having internal controls within government organizations -- and I think part of the reason we're not seeing a lot of change is that those efforts do make a difference, but they don't make as big a difference as building a strong ethical culture within an organization."
The survey results are not all gloomy.
Education about misconduct has improved. Harned says 8 out of 10 employees who responded say they feel prepared to handle situations when it comes to fighting misconduct. This statistic, however, is hampered by the fact that many employees don't actually take action.
"The problem is not that employees don't know what to do, it's that they actually have fears about taking the steps that they're encouraged to take."
Harned also notes that the survey concluded that, even when an employee reports misconduct, his or her complaint might not reach the highest level.
"The concern coming out of this study . . . is that the vast majority of employees [who] report to their immediate supervisor or another person they know in management and those reports aren't always reaching the highest levels of government where leaders know that there's a problem going on."

According to the survey, Harned says the most frequently observed types of misconduct involve workplace relationships.
"Abusive behavior, giving false information to employees, conflicts of interest, those types of misconduct. Bribes, stealing, financial fraud, some of the other more egregious types of misconduct tend to be low in percentages. Four and five percent of federal employees will see those kinds of things. . . . Nevertheless, it doesn't take a lot of those incidents to really do a lot of harm to a federal agency."
Harned says, according to the Center's data, only two percent of all misconduct reports go to through help lines connected to a senior manager. She says most complaints go to an immediate supervisor.
The National Government Ethics Survey is the second in a series of three reports that focus on employee views of ethics in the workplace. The ERC's first report dealt with business ethics and the third will look at nonprofit groups.

I'm getting 2 masters degrees- one is in social work and one is in public administration. I'm thinking about administrative, development, policy, and program management jobs. I realize it will vary by where I end up finding a job. I know that since I'll be working in the public or nonprofit sector I won't be getting a lot of money....but I really don't want to get completely ripped off!


Am I too old to be transferring to UW Madison to finish school?

I am a 28 year old male. I recently finished an associates degree in liberal arts at a 2 year college while working full time in nonprofit management. I did very well at my current school and found out today that I was accepted to UW Madison. At my age, I feel like I very much need to get a bachelors degree and that without it, I will be stuck where I am at professionally. Financially, I am set and can afford school for two years without working. But maybe I should continue working and go to school 3/4 time at UW Milwaukee.

Am I too old to go to UW Madison? Being 28, I probably would be in a lot of classes with people 20 and 21 years old. I am beyond the partying lifestyle and I know that the culture on the campus is that of a lot of partying. I am worried that I will not fit in. What should I do?

I am a 28 year old white male. I live in a boring, middle sized, midwest, major city that is not very gay friendly (Milwaukee WI). I have been saving up money to move and am planning on leaving in July when I can cash in all of my vacation from work for 2008. I am very tired and bored of the gay life here and looking for a change. I have friends in a lot of "gay friendlier" cities like Chicago, Boston, Miami, LA etc.

I would like to find a place that is exciting, not extremely expensive to live in, a warmer climate year round, and a positive gay scene with lots to do and see. HELP!

If you were in my shoes where would you consider moving to? Some background info on me: I have over a year's worth of salary saved up (about $35k) so not really concerned with having a job in then new city BEFORE I would move. I have an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts and experience working in nonprofit management. I love the outdoors and being able to play tennis year round would be great!


my dream job is to work on an international scale with water management and policy (specifically using water efficiently for energy production).
I'm graduating in may with bachelors degrees in political science, international relations, and psychology and a minor in public health. Im fluent in arabic and intermediate in french and I'm working with a non profit now and learning the ins and outs of the nonprofit world.
I plan on going to grad school to study energy and environmental analysis ... and maybe diplomacy. My question is which organizations work in this kind of field? what are they looking for? how do I get into the field? what classes should I take?
thanks for ANY help!








Looking to get my Master's, but would like to do it with distance learning from a traditional school, not somewhere like U of Phoenix and the like. Suggestions? Probably public administration, nonprofit management, corporate communications, etc.
