Issues We Care About
 | Broadband Access Successful broadband access initiatives will help nonprofit clients get online and access more services (nonprofit and municipal). Nonprofits need to engage in the development of broadband access programs to ensure that their clients and stakeholders will benefit, understand how they can deliver services in new ways because of this access, and prepare clients and stakeholders for the change. |
 | Open Software and Data Nonprofit technology vendors need to ensure that nonprofits can access their data easily and transparently, and that nonprofits have the flexibility to use their data in any way they need. Nonprofits need to know what possibilities exist and how to position themselves to take advantage of openness. |
 | Social & Mobile Media As traditional media consolidates, nonprofits must play a pivotal role in ensuring that minority voices continue to be heard. Current social media tools allow nonprofits to BE the media, creating channels for their stakeholders to take a message, reinvent it, and spread it exponentially in authentic, efficient, and effective ways. |
 | Technology Leadership Executive Directors and other nonprofit leaders need to feel comfortable making technology decisions without formal technology training. IT Staff need leadership skills to bring technology out of the back office and into the strategies of their nonprofit organizations. » NTEN Original Research |
