Networking Opportunities with NTEN

We didn't name ourselves the Nonprofit Technology Network just because we thought it had a nice ring to it: networking is what we're all about!

There are many ways you can take advantage of our community of nonprofit and technology professionals, including:

Discussion Groups

The online community that is the NTEN Affinity Groups is a great place to start networking.  You can create a profile, join the group(s) that fits your needs and interests, and start talking! Features of the online community space include personal and group blogs, easy-to-manage subscription settings for the many lists, group and community wikis, resource libraries, and forums.

Tips:

  • Use the search field in the upper right of http://groups.nten.org to browse by keywords (like city names, technology systems or tools, issues, etc.)
  • Join the NTEN Discuss group, our most active, national group discussing nonprofit technology topics and happenings
  • Start a group of your own.
Job Searching or Posting

Our community also uses the NTEN Affinity Groups both to announce openings and find jobs.

After you register with your email address, you can:

  1. post your job announcement to the Jobs Forum
  2. subscribe to job announcements via RSS or email
  3. email your inquiry or job announcement to the appropriate list(s)
  4. browse or search email archives for past job announcements
NTEN Member Directory

Local Groups

 

NTEN 501 Tech Clubs are regional groups of nonprofit IT, Communications, and other staff using -- or learning how to use -- technology, as well as the techies who work with the nonprofit sector. Start online with your local email list or in person at a monthly meeting.

The 501 Tech Clubs are great opportunities to meet and network with peers and colleagues in your own community. You can share tips and advice particular to your region, find and post jobs, and get the support you need to do more good work for your community. You can learn more about the clubs, or just join one and start networking!
