Online Engagement, "Der Fisch" and the Nervous Foundation

CEO Chris Wolz and Managing Director Andrew Cohen attended the Fall 2011 Communications Network Conference this past week to connect and learn about communication tools and best practices. This post was originally published online at ComNetwork.org, and is cross posted below with permission.

We want to make sure that our work, commercial or otherwise, stays focused on public policy issues.
