How a passion grew into 'doing business doing good'
Dec 13, 2018 1:00 AM - In 1986, I started MAP Real Estate as an office tenant-rep specialist. I've enjoyed helping our for-profit and nonprofit clients in over 850 office lease transactions in the city and suburbs and building many personal relationships.

Public relations stunts provide benefits to companies, nonprofits
Dec 13, 2018 1:00 AM - Many businesses wonder how they can land media opportunities, feeling as if they are not worthy of "feel-good" stories that can be shared with others.

PR stunts are either events or initiatives that connect two or more organizations (typically a local business to a nonprofit) with a clear intention to benefit both.
