If you've been following my site for a while, you know I blog a lot (when I blog at all) about Salesforce and Convio Common Ground. For those of you in the New York City area who are wondering what the heck the big deal is, I invite you to consider a seminar hosted by my friend, Lisa Glass Kornstein of the Solid Foundation:

Is Salesforce.com Right for Your Organization? 

Friday, March 11, 2011 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM (Eastern Time)

Support Center for Nonprofit Management

305 7th Avenue, 11th Floor @ 27th St

New York, New York 10001

United States 

Most nonprofits know they need an information system, but may not know how to find a good system or what to look for in a system. This session uses real examples of how other nonprofits in the New York area are using Information Systems to manage their organizations.

We’ll discuss these and other questions: 

• What is Constituent Relationship Management (CRM)?

• How are CRM systems used for fundraising and program management?

• What to look for in an information system? 

• How does the Salesforce.com donation program work?

• What do nonprofits use Salesforce for?

• Why would a nonprofit use a "Sales Tool"?

You will leave this session with an understanding of how other nonprofits are managing their information needs, which will help give ideas for your organization.
