Knowledge Sharing for Nonprofits

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's head?

This month's Portland Nonprofit Tech Club is led by community member Miltón, who'll be sharing his observations on how nonprofits capture, retain, and share the knowledge that keeps their work running, including:

• How do you actually capture what someone knows before they move on?
• What's the difference between documentation that gets read and documentation that just exists?
• How does sharing knowledge internally open the door to collaborating with other nonprofits, too?

Expect an open, informal conversation rather than a lecture — Miltón's bringing fresh eyes and genuine questions, and wants to hear how your org handles (or doesn't handle) this.

No knowledge-management background required, just come ready to think about what your org knows, and what it might be quietly about to forget.
