Event Details

There's power in numbers.  That's what the NTEN community is all about - sharing and collaborating to find better solutions. This unique session will start off with a presentation from Johanna Bates who will share her organization's ability to keep things going on a shoestring through the creative use of IT.  John Kenyon will then share a few tips on IT strategy.

Then we'll dive into a problem and solution sharing session on low-cost and free solutions to your IT woes. We know that you have IT dilemmas you face but we also know that as nonprofits you have found ways to be creative and thrifty in your IT departments. Join us to learn and share your IT troubles and solutions in this online and phone community session where we'll demonstrate one of these low-cost collaboration tools to collect this information.

Brainstorm Topics Will Include:
  • IT Infrastructure
  • Office / Collaboration / Meeting Tools
  • Online Tools
After the session is over, we'll compile all the resources on a wiki in the NTEN Affinity Groups to share with the rest of the community.

This will be an online chat event where you will listen on the phone and simultaneously sign into a live collaboration tool. This event is only available to NTEN members, so if you aren't - become a member today!
