Time is a luxury we don't have in our line of work -- which is why I think so many of us resist evaluation. Evaluation helps us do our work better, and we all want to do our work better. Why would you reflect on how you feed people when you could just go feed people? Of course, we know better.

One of the principles guiding NTEN is centering our roles around equity. We’ve evaluated our employee benefits to ensure that we are meeting the needs of our staff and consistently explore ideas to enhance our benefits. NTEN was named as one of the 100 Best Green Workplaces in Oregon for 2021. Closed captioning for all sessions.

As we do every year after the Nonprofit Technology Conference , we reviewed evaluations, debriefed the entire conference as a team, and brought ideas to our various committees to help us plan an even better event the next time. This year, we are excited to have expanded Community Conversations, live art, and music events at the NTC.

It’s hard to believe that the 2012 NTC is a wrap. As Holly wrote in the #NTCFail blog post outlining the things that didn’t go as planned at the event, we value being open and accountable at NTEN. But we also want to share the things that were awesome, the pieces of the NTC that we feel pretty good about at the end of the day.

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 ). For example, Simone works for an evaluation organization.
