RISING STARS — ORGANIZATION

Ted Kohnen
Assistant director
Planned Parenthood Online

Ted Kohnen already is known for his talent for harnessing the power of integrated campaigns. Among his credits at Planned Parenthood Federation of America: launching the Stand With the States campaign, which increased online donations in 2006 76 percent over 2005; recruiting, with just one e-mail, 4,000 supporters to watch an issues-related podcast; and relaunching the www.plannedparenthood.org Web site, with an increased emphasis on monthly and memorial giving and increasing online giving by 15 percent. These accomplishments listed in the nomination for Ted make it clear that he more than deserves to be honored as a rising star in the sector.
