How can a nonprofit balance its own needs with the needs of the community? If you get the chance to take a San Francisco field trip while at the NTC, Jeff, like a few others, can't recommend the Ferry Building enough. And where SHOULD you build that community anyway? In particular, check out the Slanted Door. It's an experience!

Although I hate the idea of talking over lunch, I'm glad that two years ago, under former ED Katrin Verclas, we added the awards ceremony to our closing lunch at the NTC. In the case of Daniel Ben-Horin, the 2009 recipient and co-CEO of Techsoup Global , it's both. The 2009 award was presented to the American Red Cross.

Dahna Goldstein Bev Magda I used to do technology consulting with nonprofits, and I found that the work was about 10% technology, 90% psychology.

In the nonprofit technology community, I’ve heard stories of cut backs on “nice to have&# items and expenses such as travel and training so that organizations can focus on their most critical goals first and cut back on what they deem not to be completely necessary. Airfare can be one of the pricier parts of getting to the NTC.
