Strategic Communications for Influence: Lessons From the Annie E. Casey Foundation and Its KIDS COUNT Initiative
No full text· This article describes how the Annie E. Casey Foundation is using the KIDS COUNT Network in a new way: as a strategic communications tool in its focused efforts toward policy change, broad social change, and improved conditions for vulnerable children and families. An outcome map illustrates links between this strategy and the intended outcomes.
· Case illustrations of KIDS COUNT grantee activities surrounding the release of the 2008 KIDS COUNT Data Book describe the efforts of grantees in six states where the quantity and quality of media coverage surrounding the national data book reflected the kind of coverage that Casey believes will help achieve its desired outcomes.
· Strategic communications approaches such as relationships with journalists, use of locally relevant information, use of locally relevant media advocacy strategies, good preparation, and a solution orientation were present in states demonstrating desirable media coverage.
· Prescribing specific communications tactics matters less than supporting the network’s general capacity to engage in year-round strategic communications approaches to create conditions (e.g., reputations, relationships) that will contribute to successful media advocacy related to a specific event such as the release of the national data book
Living With Michael
No full textThe Creative Writing Scholarship Committee had this to say on Casey Fuller’s “Living with Michael”: “Frank, meditative, and patient, Casey Fuller’s ‘Living with Michael’ is a portrait of joy and beauty found in the unexpected interruptions of noisy partiers, of labor, of routine tasks. We know that Casey’s readers, too, will fall into the rhythm of these reflections as they immerse themselves in this poem

Peer Networking and Community Change: Improving Foundation Practice
No full text· This article brings together the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s 15 years of experience with peer networking— examining through two research studies the process of peer networking and its impact, both with community-based and funder groups.
· Peer networking helps people with common interests to exchange information, disseminate good practices, and build a leadership structure for work they do together, such as a community change initiative.
· Casey’s research identified 10 good practices for effective peer networking, as well as 10 challenges that can affect its success; a four-level model was created to provide context for these findings.
· The research indicates that peer networking can have significant impact for communities and in meeting philanthropic goals, but it is costly and must be carefully structured if it is to be successful.
· Casey is working to synthesize its peer networking practices into a more strategic framework, and other foundations might use some of its lessons learned to enhance their own practices in this area
Noserinus Casey 1907
No full textGenus Noserinus Casey Figs. 11–14 Noserinus Casey, 1907b: 470. Gebien, 1936: 669. Doyen and Lawrence, 1979: 345. Costa et al., 1988: 212. Ṡ lipi ń ski and Lawrence, 1999: 13. (Type species: Noserinus annulatipes Casey, 1907b, by original designation). Diagnosis: The presence of a large setose scutellum and 10-segmented antennae is unique among the Zopherini. Description (male): With the inclusion of Noserinus furcatus (Kirsch) NEW COMBINATION, the generic description of Noserinus should be slightly modified as follows from Ṡ lipi ń ski and Lawrence (1999). Length 13–24 mm. Flight wings present or absent. Anterior clypeal margin deeply to weakly emarginate. Pronotal sides weakly to strongly lobed. Male femora with nodules on meso and metafemora only. Notes: The genus Noserinus was described by Casey for his new Brazilian species Noserinus annulatipes Casey 1907b (Type species Noserinus annulatipes Casey 1907, by original designation). Casey mentioned that his species was related to Nosoderma dormeanum Fairmaire 1889, but this species was not officially moved to Noserinus until Gebien (1936) synonymized the Casey species with Noserinus dormeanus. The species Noserinus dormeanus, Zopher iviei, and Meralius furcatus share the following characters: the presence of a large setose scutellum, distinct epipleural ridge and an empodium present between the tarsal claws. Therefore, Meralius furcatus is moved to Noserinus, rather than recognizing a third monotypic genus.Published as part of Foley, Ian A. & Ivie, Michael A., 2008, A phylogenetic analysis of the tribe Zopherini with a review of the species and generic classification (Coleoptera: Zopheridae), pp. 1-72 in Zootaxa 1928 (1) on pages 18-19, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.1928.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/523072
