An old training outline

I ran across some old notes, about a planned Leadership Conference for pro-life campus leaders. My files have become somewhat of a repository of half-good old ideas that never went anywhere. That fact is quite frustrating. Here's the rough outline I had:

Leadership Conference and Training
-over the summer in DC
-name after a major donor
-exclusive to 15-20 hand-picked students, probably have to ask 60 in order to get 20 to commit
-train on education, rhetoric, skills, debating, recruitment
-one day with meetings with people from across the movement
-offer a quick training session on adoption/how to counsel women into keeping their children aimed towards younger women, to enable college students to speak the right language so as to facilitate adoption

Newsweek on Ogilvy: the original mad man

Newsweek recently wrote about an author whom I have recommended across the country, David Ogilvy. Unfortunately this interview is quite sub-par and relatively nothing within can't be learnt by reading "Ogilvy on Advertising"

Lecture on Organizational Basics, and Prof. Esolen's excellent speech

I gave a lecture recently to the Massachusetts Citizens for Life at their chapter meeting, here you can look at the outline of my talk, and even download an mp3 of my presentation if you were so inclined. Here are a few photos of people with the main speaker, Prof. Anthony Esolen who gave a fabulous speech, you can see here.
