News from the Dignity and Respect Campaign!

Greetings!

The D&R Campaign was an exhibitor and sponsor of the 2011
Nonprofit Summit held on Thursday, May 12 at the Westin
Convention Center Hotel. More than 750 leaders from greater
Pittsburgh's nonprofit organizations gathered to mingle, learn
about emerging trends, and share best practices during the
day-long event.

Nonprofit organizations contribute to each of us. Whether
through social services, advocacy groups, educational
institutions, or arts and culture, we all reap the benefits from the
time and talent nonprofit executives invest. Nonprofits make our
lives better, richer, and safer.

Join the D&R Campaign and "Say Thank You" (Tip #5) to all
the people in your life who work at nonprofit organizations.

Sincerely,

Melanie Harrington - Chair, D&R Campaign Council - Pittsburgh
Shari Manges - Vice-chair, D&R Campaign Council - Pittsburgh
