Amy Borgstrom, Chair, NTEN Board of Directors

Wow!

We've all heard the United States Postal Service creed, the one that starts "neither snow nor rain." I think the 2013 NTC proved we need a creed of equal match for this community. Neither snow nor ice, flight delays or road closures can prevent this community of innovators, change makers, and passionate technologists from coming together to meet new colleagues, share ideas, and spark change.

Just a week ago my colleagues on the board and I were in Minneapolis for this year's Nonprofit Technology Conference. Sitting in a ballroom of 1,600 nonprofit technology professionals from all causes and sectors, we were awed by your energy and enthusiasm.

The 2013 "NTEN" Award: Maddie Grant

Submitted by Annaliese on Sat, 04/13/2013 - 10:06am

 

NTEN isn't an organization, we're a community – a community with a shared set of values, including authenticity, sharing, and of course, laughter.

Each year at the Nonprofit Technology Conference, we get the chance to celebrate one individual – of the many! – who embodies those values and enhances the NTEN community. These individuals, recipients of the annual NTEN Award, are the people working hard to move NTEN's mission forward from within the community: always ready to share a case study, idea, or contact. They support the community by writing articles and presenting sessions and webinars. Oh, and they make us laugh, too. In short, they embody NTEN's Values.
