Nonprofit Career Round-Up: 9/12/2011

Hope everyone had a good weekend.  It was certainly a sad one, with the 10th anniversary of 9/11 happening Sunday.  I felt that the cermonies and tributes were very well done, though it was a real shame that the First Responders were not invited to the Ground Zero ceremony.
