Online Nonprofit Technology Conference: Managing Technology to Meet Your Mission

September 16, 2009 - 5:00am

Helping technology managers and leaders understand and rectify the critical issues at the intersection of technology and mission is the inspiration behind the new NTEN book, Managing Technology to Meet Your Mission: A Strategic Guide for Nonprofit Leaders. Now, the authors and other top experts in the nonprofit tech field will expand on the content and theme of the book during the interactive Online Nonprofit Technology Conference: Managing Technology to Meet Your Mission on September 16 and 17, 2009.

Information Technology is an increasingly essential element of any nonprofit's operations. But how often is IT an afterthought, often housed in a corner with the staff charged with implementation not brought to the decision-making table? In spite of this, many recognize that an effective technology manager or a well-oiled IT department can and does help extend the reach and scope of any organization. Helping technology managers and leaders understand and rectify the critical issues at the intersection of technology and mission is the inspiration behind the new NTEN book, Managing Technology to Meet Your Mission: A Strategic Guide for Nonprofit Leaders.

Now, the authors and other top experts in the nonprofit tech field will expand on the content and theme of the book during the interactive Online Nonprofit Technology Conference: Managing Technology to Meet Your Mission on September 16 and 17, 2009.

In partnership with Jossey-Bass and Learning Times, we'll host a 2-day online conference that will be divided up into 2 tracks, Leadership Skills and IT Performance, interspersed with Ask the Expert sessions to give attendees multiple opportunties to engage and learn. Geared towards the "Tech Responsible" Individuals within organizations (CIOs, CTOs, Executive Directors, and others in charge of technology) the online conference will cover the specifics to help Tech and IT Leaders hone their skills and understanding in order to make better informed technology decisions. Those who attend this conference will leave better able to act as leaders in managing the intersection of mission and technology unique to their organizations.
