When I took the helm of NTEN just a few short years ago, I really wish someone had handed me a book that outlined all the stuff I was now supposed to worry about: finance, legal, human resources, and of course technology. Nonprofit Mangement 101 gives readers a great grounding in all the areas a nonprofit leader needs to consider.

It used to be generally agreed that the nonprofit sector lagged at least two years behind the private sector when it came to technology use. Today, there are organizations large and small doing amazing things with technology to create actual social change. You must have a representative present at the 2009 NTC in San Francisco.

Most charities and many libraries have part time or accidental techies taking care of their technology. Is it any wonder that proper technology planning is something we have a hard time getting to? Conducting a technology assessment and inventory of current software and hardware assets. How do you currently use technology?

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. I think back to when I became an accidental techie - technology was vastly a male dominated job - so I do believe a lot of the accidental techies may be female.

This week, as part of Member Appreciation Month, we're talking about technology that supports communications and information, so I thought I'd share some of the metrics we use to track our effectiveness that don't really warrant a complete blog post in-and-of themselves. We'd also love to hear about your favorite metrics.

There are more than a few things to do at the Nonprofit Technology Conference. Since I started working on the NTC -- and its predecessor, the RoundUp -- almost a decade ago, my very favorite part has been the Day of Service. It's simple: We work with fabulous local hosts to recruit NTC-area orgs who need some help.

We also read through all of the NTC evaluations! We didn''t want to split up these post-NTC conversations so have sacrificed brevity in the hopes of completeness.

GIVE BACK by reporting out on what I have learned and how I am using the books, both internally (within my org.) Prior to moving to California, I donated thousands of my nonprofit, technology, and social media books to nonprofit libraries through some giveaways on my blog. and externally (with all of your fine readers!).
