Towards the end of the session submission process for the 2012 NTC in August, I could see that folks were coming back from lunch and finally deciding to cross that off their to-do lists. If your org uses Facebook to raise money for animal adoptions, even if 50 shares are a record for you, is that a good number comparatively?

After several years of " becoming a career nptechie " sessions at the NTC, I know I am not the only NTENer for whom this has been the case. At my last org job, this room for me to grow and lead was key to many of the org's most successful projects. For me, the "accidental techie" role was the on-ramp to a career that I love.

One thing I keep hearing over and over again is how frustrating it is to be from a small organization (under $1 million budget) at the NTC. You have to network and socialize and put your org's best foot forward. There's no better place for that than the NTC. You have to get on their radar. There are others.

Growing individual institutions ever larger has failed to address complex social problems that outpace the capacity of any individual org. There has been an explosion in size of nonprofit sector over last twenty years, huge increases in donations and number of organizations, and yet needle hasn’t moved on any serious social issue.
