People kept seeking you out because, instead of acting like the stereotypical IT guy, speaking only in tech-ese, you answered their questions and helped them feel a bit less intimidated by tech tools. What training is required?

Technology planning in nonprofits is too often thought about in terms of how many computers we need and the IT staff to maintain them from the basement of the organization.
