2010 has been a good year for NTEN. After a lot strategic planning, much hard work (and not a little luck), we've managed to grow our membership, help more nonprofits learn nonprofit technology skills through our programs, and connect the NTEN community more than ever before. We listen to what you say you want from NTEN.

In that scenario, nonprofit workers feel like technology is something they have to deal with to do the "real work," not something that can make their work lives and their organization better at meeting its mission (which is what NTEN believes, so strongly they wrote a book about it ). Is your ED a technophobe? How about your board members?

Here are six steps that will help give your technology direction. Nonprofits are inherently good at making things happen with what they have, asking for help, taking advantage of opportunities and relying on volunteers or other support. Small orgs work quickly, but often times that acceleration lacks direction.
