Jacobwith Flickr: jenny8lee When it comes to building community and increasing brand awareness, some organizations hire communications, marketing, and engagement staff to handle these activities.

Flickr photo: pasukaru76 "Now is the Time for IT Leaders to Re-imagine IT" That was the subject line of an email I received from Gartner recently. Sure, the email was just a pitch for one of their upcoming events, but I can't help but think of that subject line as a battle cry – a drop-your-mobile-phone-and-pay-attention type of battle cry.

Flickr Photo: Jonathan McIntosh I'm not very good as resolutions. Making big decisions, and then sticking to them no matter what is not my strongest suit. I'm more of a "let's see how this goes and adjust as we make our way" kind of a person. But I do have two hard and fast resolutions this year. First, I'm not going to travel so much.

In many ways, technology and innovation go hand in hand, so it's a theme that we address here at NTEN on a regular basis. So you're in the not-for-profit sector. That was a member idea.
