1. Image Pieces: Case Stud­ies, Pro­files, and Articles

Paul excels in plan­ning and writ­ing image pieces that rein­force your strate­gic mes­sages and show­case the work of your grantees through vivid sto­ry­telling. Paul’s recent work has pro­filed the accom­plish­ments of the Open Soci­ety Institute’s Cam­paign for Black Male Achieve­ment and helped Diver­sity in Phil­an­thropy Project exam­ine field-​​wide efforts to strengthen diver­sity through case stud­ies he has planned, writ­ten, or edited.

• “How Are Foun­da­tions Com­mu­ni­cat­ing Their Work on Diver­sity?” is a case study pub­lished in Novem­ber 2009  that Paul wrote for Diver­sity in Phil­an­thropy Project and pre­sented dur­ing a panel dis­cus­sion for the Com­mu­ni­ca­tions Net­work national con­fer­ence in Octo­ber 2009. For a blog entry Paul wrote for Com­mu­ni­ca­tions Net­work that pre­viewed the case study and his pre­sen­ta­tion, click here.
