Iinternet video and has become easier, cheaper and more popular than ever before. Video has become an omnipresent element of the online experience. Video provides nonprofits and policy organizations new opportunities to tell stories, advocate, raise funds, and motivate supporters. They also create new costs and expectations.

In this Web Executive Seminar hosted by Forum One, we will explore how several organizations are effectively (and cost-effectively) using video to stimulate action and reach policymakers, and the news media.

Speakers included:

• Jeremy Ames, manager of EPA's Radon Video Contest, the first YouTube contest run by a federal agency.
• Sam Gregory, Program Director, The Hub, the "YouTube for human rights" and initiative of WITNESS.
• Morgan Jindrich, co-director, Cover America Tour, a project of Consumers Union, nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports.
• Marci McCoy-Roth, co-director of Kids Are Waiting campaign, a project of the Pew Charitable Trusts.

Whether you are a web site manager, a web marketing professional or a nonprofit executive, you will enjoy this opportunity to learn and swap ideas with your peers.
