Fenton Announces Fellowship for 10 Non-profits to Annual Personal Democracy Forum: 'Can the Internet Fix Politics?'

NEW YORK, April 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Fenton is offering a "Fenton-Fellowship" to 10 non-profit staffers to the 2010 Personal Democracy Forum conference. This year's focus is "Can the Internet Fix Politics?" The conference will be held June 3-4 in NYC.

"If you're interested in the intersection of technology and social change, the Personal Democracy Forum is the place to be," said Lisa Witter, Chief Strategic Officer of Fenton, the country's largest integrated public interest communications firm. "We're offering this fellowship because it's our mission to help public interest organizations embrace innovation online for social change."

The selected fellows will receive complementary registration to the conference, reserved seating for the plenary sessions and a private lunch at the conference with senior Fenton staff and other fellows. Fenton staff will help fellows take full advantage of the conference through guidance on sessions, introductions to experts and opinion-leaders and other insider tips.    

Fenton encourages communications directors, executive directors or online organizers who are already familiar with social media, or are interested in learning how organizations and campaigns are using it creatively, to apply.
