While we’re grateful to all members of NTEN, there are, of course, those of you who go beyond the proverbial "call of duty" and impact the NTEN community by providing extra time, resources, and wisdom to assist NTEN's work in this sector. We call you "rockstars" here on this blog (a lot), but each spring, at NTEN's annual conference, we like to do more than that. We like to annoint a new crop of these nonprofit tech warriors with their very own set of aNTENnae, signifying their special contributions to this special community.
Today, at the 2013 Nonprofit Technology Conference in Minneapolis, we unveiled the #13ntc NTENnies and their unique contributions to the NTEN community:

NTC wouldn't be NTC without the social part! After a full day of sessions and networking, what better way to relax and celebrate then a party or two (or both)!
Each year, we at NTEN work hard to make the NTC a more environmentally sustainable event -- this year we even have carbon offsets for travelers! We're also excited to share some of our NTC sponsors who are helping us go greener in April.
When it comes to building community and increasing brand awareness, some organizations hire communications, marketing, and engagement staff to handle these activities. And that makes sense -- someone needs to be charged with keeping a close eye on the organization’s community growth.
But building awareness for your important work in an increasingly cluttered space can’t be the responsibility of just one person or even a department. When an organization embraces the culture of creating and empowering all staff to become “brand ambassadors,” authentic and exponential growth starts to happen.
Each year for the Nonprofit Technology Conference, over one hundred organizations sponsor the conference and participate in the Science Fair. It's always overwhelming in the best of ways to see how many options for tools, services, and providers we have access to in this community and the Science Fair brings them together to share their work and opportunities with attendees. We are happy to share the following blog post from Alec Stern, Founding Team, Vice President of Strategic Market Development, at Constant Contactwith you ahead of the conference. Be sure to connect with the Constant Contact team at the NTC!
We are excited to be partnering with Games for Change for The 10th Anniversary Games for Change Festival.

This year's festival will be taking place at New World Stages in New York City from June 17th-19th.
