October DMV/DC Metro Pop-Up Coffee: Digital Sovereignty

Stephanie Romanoff, CAE

<p dir="ltr">Every org has that one person who just knows how things work — until they leave. What happens to institutional knowledge when it only ever lived in someone&#39;s head?</p>
<p dir="ltr">This month&#39;s Portland Nonprofit Tech Club is led by community member Miltón, who&#39;ll be sharing his observations on how nonprofits capture, retain, and share the knowledge that keeps their work running, including:</p>
<ul dir="ltr"><li>How do you actually capture what someone knows before they move on?</li><li>What&#39;s the difference between documentation that gets read and documentation that just exists?</li><li>How does sharing knowledge internally open the door to collaborating with other nonprofits, too?</li></ul>
<p dir="ltr">Expect an open, informal conversation rather than a lecture — Miltón&#39;s bringing fresh eyes and genuine questions, and wants to hear how your org handles (or doesn&#39;t handle) this.</p>
<p dir="ltr">No knowledge-management background required, just come ready to think about what your org knows, and what it might be quietly about to forget.</p>
