JULY 14, 2014

In 2013 the number of nonprofits that hired part-time or full-time new media managers increased fourfold.

Volunteers provide nonprofits with the on-the-ground support they need to further their missions, whether that means helping to build homes, providing meals for food-insecure families, mentoring local youths, or cleaning up trash at local parks. Your goals should be SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound.

This time around Andy had added some improvements in both props and procedure. It was a lot of fun, and since Andy was doing an excellent job of facilitating, and Amy was mentoring the groups, I was able to capture proceedings on video. After the problem and the people are addressed, then it’s time to consider the tech tools.

Most charities and many libraries have part time or accidental techies taking care of their technology. Is it any wonder that proper technology planning is something we have a hard time getting to? The problem is that it takes some tech planning to come up with a budget for the New Year. Images: Mobile Beacon.

As doing the right thing, all the time. At times, seeing your value yourself can be difficult, if not impossible. Still, there will be times when you or your team members won’t get along. Instead, they’re only borrowed until it is time for a new leader comes along. She wasn’t authentic.
