An Important Visit...

With a comfortable informational site live, some new media, and a brochure to communicate the service United Causes will provide and the values of the organization, it is time to start moving forward. Our next steps include expanding our network of potential members and identifying those who may be interested in corporate partnership. These steps will be in full swing at the end of April, starting with a visit to Santa Barbara, CA.

United Causes has been asked to sit on a panel of professionals at the University of California Santa Barbara, Communication Department, Career Day on April 30th. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to network with students and other professionals in various communication industries.

While in Santa Barbara we will be meeting with non-profits to hear their reaction to, and ideas about, our platform. We will also be meeting with individuals to start building a network of possible equity partners and start talking about programming and marketing in the second half of the year.

Shifting gears from designing an informational web site to the more practical and legal areas of business has been a good challenge, and in the process we have listed and defined the five products and services United Causes will provide over the next 2 years.

1. Cause Networking Platform
2. Cause Advocacy Messaging / Corporate Action Sponsorships
3. Peaceful Protest & Non-Violent Social Movement Education (within first year)
4. Video & Voice Conferencing (second year)
5. Incentive Based Catalog of Artwork & Music (second year)

For more information about these services, our trip to Santa Barbara, or to become involved with our process please Email us, contact us on Facebook, Twitter, or share your thoughts and ask questions here. Thank you!
