It’s the NTEN community that provides all the magic at the conference. 1 comment… read it below or add one } 1 Holly 03.24.08

As a 10,000 footer, NTEN’s new Donor Management System Survey is of keen interest. Mostly because, although I actually know the field pretty well, it’s at the 10,000 foot level, rather than the 50 ft level that clients really need. There is, of necessity, a lot of overlap betwen CRM systems and Donor Management Systems.
