NTEN, the Nonprofit Technology Network, puts on a massive, be-there-or-be-square conference for nonprofit professionals every year (in 2009, we met in San Francisco). The NTEN community co-authored a book and is planning an online conference for this Fall drawing on the contributors to move from writing to speaking.

Last Monday I attended my colleague, Susan Tenby's panel presentation, Building and Sustaining Vibrant Online Communities at the Nonprofit Technology Conference (NTC). I had some connectivity issues so I wasn't able to live blog this as I'd hoped, but here is my not-so-live recap of this informative panel.
