Peter Panepento, the "voice" behind The Chronicle of Philanthropy's twitter account @philanthropy, and their guru web editor has done a great job in pulling together nonprofit experts around key issues facing nonprofits today in The Chroncile's "Live Discussion" series.

One of the things many nonprofits may be considering cutting back on in this economy is - you guessed it - special events. However, as the panelists in the recent Chronicle Live Discussion "Planning Special Events During a Recession" prove, a little creativity goes a long way. Check out the transcipt of the recent session with Staci Bennett, Blackbaud's event marketing manager (and a die-hard volunteer); Ami Cervin, an events planner for the Greater Twin Cities United Way in Minneapolis; and Jim Leighton, director of events and programs for the Children's Cancer Research Fund in Minneapolis.
