(Note: This is a weekly round-up of NTEN members doing and sharing their nptech awesome. Members are in bold. Tag your own news with "nten member" or "nptech" to help us find your awesome online, or contact Annaliese with your updates.)
Allyson Kapin offers some good reminders/tips for engaging your supporters. (Hint: it's not just about action alert emails or reminders to sign a petition.)
Speaking of online engagement, Amy Sample Ward is planning to integrate "conversation starter" posts into her blog, and this week she's starting off with an article fellow NTEN member Ivan Boothe brought to her attention about the not-so-digital younger generations. Click on over to Amy's post to see her questions in response to this article in terms of online engagement.
I was happy to see that one of NTEN's newest members, Mat Heggem of The Bookkeeping Center, was so inspired by the recent 501 Tech Club NYC event that he vlogged his take-aways and shared on our Facebook page.
Speaking of NTEN members sharing digital stories online, I saw this twitpic from Merav Resistal. The case study about nptech in Israel will be featured in our August newsletter. If you're not already, you should sign up to receive it!
And, in related news, while we're accepting submissions of your session proposals for the 2011 Nonprofit Technology Conference through the end of next week, it's nice to see that you all are accepting collaboration proposals for it! We overheard this call for collaboration from NTEN rockstar Michaela Hackner this week. Any nonprofit digitial story-tellers out there?
Don't forget to keep up with your NTEN community pals (did I just say "pals"?) whenever you need to:
