Upcoming Webinars from NTEN

Nonprofits interested in social networking and technology fundamentals will want to look into two new Webinars from NTEN:

Friends for a Cause: Campaigns in Social Networks

January 16, 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. PST; $25 for NTEN members, $50 for non-members

Candidates and causes alike are flocking to social networking sites, in spite of the fact that you can't donate or vote on most sites. So what's the fuss? Even if you win a lot of friends, what can you do with them? In this session, we'll review how candidates and nonprofits are using social networking sites for advocacy, identifying what they do well and how they turn "friends" into action. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what makes a campaign work and how you can implement it.

Building the Foundation: Hardware, Software and Networks

January 17, 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. PST; $25 for NTEN members, $50 for non-members

Your organization’s hardware, software, and network form the foundation of your technology implementation. If the foundation is not strong, it’s tough to succeed in any other area. It can be difficult to wade through the myriad options for each category, but we’ll help you cut through the jargon and review the essential knowledge needed to understand hardware, software, and networks.

• Develop a technology audit
• Manage a nonprofit’s technology assets
• Evaluate and choose appropriate software applications
