Who Makes Up the Nonprofit Tech Community?
Flickr photo: victoriapeckhamWe talk a lot about the nonprofit technology community here at NTEN. After all, that's why we're here: to support the community of nonprofit and technology professionals. But who makes up that community?
Over the years, we've seen many familiar names at the core of this community, but we've also seen a lot of new people join the ranks of "nptechies" and "accidental techies" -- all with the goal of furthering their respective causes with the help of technology.
To keep track of the growing community and your technology needs and interests, every year we conduct a Community Survey. (You can see the 2007 NTEN Community Survey Report here.) It keeps us on our toes and helps us determine which programming and content is most relevant. It also provides everyone with some comparison data, like:
- Job titles
- Organizational focus
- Organizational budget/revenue sizes
- Staff sizes
- Organizational challenges
And it's time again to take stock of who we are and what we need.
