  1. This article from TrustedAdvisor reminds all of us – individuals and nonprofits alike – that we are not as credible as we think. Credibility is a key factor in building trust–and here are a few ways you can do it.
  2. This past Monday, Mashable and 92Y hosted the Social Good Summit, in partnership with the United Nations Foundation. So much goodness, so little time. Read what many world leaders and digital, policy, and media experts had to say from Causmoplitan’s Day in Quotes
