We want to hear from you, and our quarterly Town Halls are a way to create a dedicated, open line for NTEN staff to provide updates and insights about our work, and hear from you (yes, you) about what you’re working on, how we can better serve you and your team, and discuss hot topics in the community.

Ten years into the social media revolution, people are using social media to speak, but organizations aren’t listening. Learn how to listen and build a thriving social ecosystem.

User-generated content has become a critical part of marketing strategies for companies and nonprofits alike. The viral “Ice Bucket Challenge this past summer showed how powerful user-generated content can be in helping to achieve a nonprofit’s dual goals of awareness and fundraising. We will take a look at case studies of successful campaigns and explore how you can make user-generated content work for your organization through social media aggregators like TINT.

#GivingTuesday is an international annual day of giving to kick off the giving season, on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday – this year it is December 2. The third annual GivingTuesday is almost here and it’s bigger than ever, with over 16,000 organizations and counting from around the globe raising funds for causes they support.

But #GivingTuesday isn’t just about asking for money – it is also about community. Join NTEN CEO, Amy Sample Ward, NTEN Community Champion, Beth Kanter, Debra Askanase, and other leaders participating in our 2015 Community Challenge for a live conference call open to all. You’ll hear from community leaders as they describe their #GivingTuesday efforts, discuss why they are a part of the NTEN community, and share ideas for the year ahead.

Having an active board is vital to the life and effectiveness of a nonprofit organization.

This webinar is free to NTEN Members as part of NTEN’s Member Appreciation Month.
