CGI America is built on the success of Clinton Global Initiative and is focused on one overarching theme: economic recovery and job growth. Apparently, this event was initiated as a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Thomas Paine penned Common Sense in 1775 it quickly became one of the largest print successes in American history. In light of its overwhelming sales, Paine donated his royalities to George Washington&#8217;s Contintenal Army saying, &#8220;As my wish was to serve an oppressed people, and assist in a just and good cause, I conceived [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like all of us, I awoke this morning to see the changing of the guard in the House of Representatives. Obviously there are many people celebrating the occasion. Personally, I&#8217;d rather have a root canal. The real cause of my angst is not the anxious anticipation of the inevitable email or text from my lovable [...]]]></description>

As some reading this will attest, I frustrated many people who came into my office ranting about a problem because I inevitably sent them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sure most of you saw that Barack Obama raised a record $55 million in the month of February, so I won&#8217;t regurgitate old news here. But what I find more interesting than the jaw dropping dollar amount, is how much of the fundraising activity is happening relatively under the radar. Yesterday his campaign made [...]]]></description>

That means I&#8217;ve officially been in contact centers for more than half my life. Scary, I know. What&#8217;s even scarier is that some people reading this blog probably remember that shy, scrawny kid [...]]]></description>

Since that time, I&#8217;ve been wrestling in my mind with how to combine some of the most successful elements of capitalism with those of non-profits in order to create charities that are self-sustaining.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; For those of you not local to Chicago or the Lake Michigan area, there was a recent upheaval around Indiana&#8217;s state regulators granting BP a permit allowing it to dump 50 percent more ammonia and 35 percent more suspended solids into Lake Michigan. Ammonia feeds oxygen-sucking algae blooms that kill fish, and the suspended [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Government Transparency is almost as big a buzzword as Web 2.0 lately. And for that matter, you would think the two would go hand-and-hand. With all of the killer technology available in our&#160;information age, one&#160;would think that it should&#160;be relatively&#160;straight forward&#160;to get a picture of what our government does in return for our tax dollars [...]]]></description>
