NTEN

For many years now we've participated in the NTEN NTC, one of the premier technology conferences for nonprofit organizations.  The NTC provides an opportunity for organizations to share and learn from each other about both big picture technology issues, and nitty-gritty tips and tricks.

For next year's conference, folks from our team have proposed a number of sessions. Voting is open through September 23rd.  Take a look at our session proposals, we hope that you will consider voting for them!
