FM #268 Doug MacPherson HMEA Virtual IncredABLE 5K 5/17/20 (audio)

FM #268 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 268 in the series.

This session of the radio show shares my conversation with Doug MacPherson, Vice-President of Development and Public Relations for Horace Mann Education Association (HMEA). We had our conversation via conference bridge to adhere to the ‘social distancing’ requirements of this pandemic period.

Doug and I talked about the preparation for the HMEA’s Virtual IncredABLE 5K scheduled for May 17, 2020. Alas, in this pandemic period, the road race, community walk, and family fun field day has been converted to a virtual event. Virtual? Yes, we talk about how you can run your 5K on a certified 5K course and send your results to HEMA for them to count.

Our conversation also covers how HMEA is adjusting to their delivery of service from in person to zoom and other virtual meetings.

Fund raising will continue beyond the virtual event on May 17, The fiscal year for HMEA ends on June 30, so there will be additional opportunities to participate in a virtual event with HMEA.

The recording runs about 18 minutes, so let’s listen to my conversation with Doug https://www.hipcast.com/podcast/HXzpzTf7
