Hi everyone, I'm Joey Cheek and I'm co-founder and president of Team Darfur.
I had the pleasure of meeting many of you at the event two weeks ago in New York, and now I'm using this platform to hopefully continue the many conversations we started then.
First, though, I'd like to ask for your help. Team Darfur is a very young organization with a very big mission: to empower Olympic athletes to make a difference in Darfur. We can't do that without a lot of help.
Among the things we're looking for:
1. Legal advisor - with knowledge of non-profit issues
2. Treasurer of the board - advise on general financial issues, co-sign checks
3. Policy advisor - with experience in coordinating needs of various organizations and interests
4. Merchandise help - designers, connections to appropriate companies, experienced marketing professionals
5. Office space - for one person in New York City (Manhattan or Brooklyn)If you have any comments or suggestions on these items, please send me an e-mail at joey@teamdarfur.org. I also encourage you to use the "comments" section on this blog to offer advice, suggestions, comments, etc. that could be helpful to Team Darfur and other growing organizations.
