Paul Signorelli’s Summary
I have worked in libraries (staff training, volunteer services, and human resources issues) and nonprofits (management; volunteer programs; public relations; grantwriting; and the writing and editing of publications and press releases) for more than 20 years. I'm also involved in strategic planning and organizational development projects; marketing and public relations efforts; and conference and workshop planning for training, workplace learning and performance, and continuing education events. My most recent efforts have including documenting and sharing best practices in e-learning. As a consultant, I strive to bring that experience to libraries and nonprofit organizations in ways which benefit staff and the clients they serve.
Paul Signorelli’s Specialties:
I work with libraries and nonprofit organizations to creatively build bridges between those groups and others in their communities. The goal is to meet the needs of their staff and their current and prospective customers.
