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.

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: the NTEN community is pretty amazing. From sharing ideas to sharing rides to the NTC, this is an extremely generous community and the 2012 Champions Campaign is yet one more example. When we launched the campaign, our goal was to reach a total of $30,000.

Gender equality is one of the 17 new UN Sustainable Development Goals. In many countries, this goal will likely not be reached until the end of this century.

One day you woke up to the fact that tech-related work had taken over much of your job -- and you liked it. How do others do it?
