As a bittersweet moment, this is my last post on this blog, for I'm leaving Aspiration to start my PhD in Nonprofit Leadership at the University of San Diego [1]. I'll be hosting future Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants on my new Nonprofit Leadership 601 blog [2].

Thanks to all those who provided blog submissions this week!

1. Alia from Sea Change Strategies writes a great post about authentic communications for your nonprofit. The post is titled, "Do these jeans make me look fat?" [3]

2. Jeff Brooks of the Donor Power blog tells nonprofits, "How to get people talking about you the right way. [4]"

3. Michelle Murrain shares about how everyone in the nonprofit community seems to be benefiting from Open Source Software in her, "Where the gift economy rubber meets the road," [5] post.

4. Katya writes in her nonprofit marketing blog about the, "Top Five Website Mistakes." [6]

5. Paul Jones of the Cause-Related Marketing blog, writes a post [7] about how the Check Gallery has made Cause Related Marketing into a strategy rather than just a tactic.

6. Trista Harris of the New Voices of Philanthropy blog writes about the benefits of having a coaching in her post titled, "Executive Coaching isn't just for Executives." [8]

7. And, going along the same lines with what Katya wrote, I attended a workshop last week where grant writer Susan Fox shared with us, "10 Flaws That Doom Most Proposals to Failure." [9]
