And yes, indeed, in 2009 there were many more panel proposals about or by folks who work with nonprofits and voting. In 2008, I was on one of the few nonprofit panels on the agenda. It was organized by Ed Schipul.

NTEN is trying to get a handle on all of this, and find out what people use, and how much they like what they use. It’s such an interesting space, and there are some really intriguing things happening with software in that space. I can’t wait to get my grubby little fingers on the data on CiviCRM and Salesforce.

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.
