Please post any suggested ideas or topics that you might have for the next POAM Semiar in June, 2009.  We have already heard that a detailed class on political involvement, endorsements, PAC Spending, etc. would be beneficial.  Any suggestions can be posted right here on the blog, feel free to leave a comment with your ideas.

Thanks,
