Speakers: Jason Shim & Mark Hallman

Jason Shim
Associate Director, Digital Strategy and Alumni Relations, Pathways to Education Canada

How can we harness technology to make a difference in the world? That’s the question I love to answer for organizations. With over 10 years of experience spanning the nonprofit and academic sectors both as an employee and a consultant, I have consistently helped organizations stay ahead of the technology curve. In 2013, I led Pathways to Education to become the first charity to issue tax receipts for Bitcoin donations. To date we have raised $2200 in this innovative way, however, what is more exciting is that we have opened access and awareness to a brand new tech-savvy audience. I have taught Digital Marketing at George Brown College where I had the opportunity to help students understand the power and potential of digital media and gain the confidence they need to succeed. When I have the opportunity I love to speak and write about digital marketing strategy, digital fundraising, online youth engagement, website analytics, and of course digital currency. Some other projects I’ve been involved with include The Fastest Donation Form in the World Project, where I initiated and led the development of a proof of concept to explore the question, “What would the fastest donation form in the world look like?”. The answer? 2 clicks and 15 seconds. And Roo.io, a mobile-optimized system that provides a streamlined and cost-effective way to record telephone interviews for content producers and journalists.

Mark Hallman
President, Evergreen Digital Marketing

Mark Hallman is the President of Evergreen Digital Marketing and has worked with charities and non-profit organizations across North America to help them strategize and execute their digital marketing plans.

Recap: Collaboration Tools for Nonprofit Boards and Remote Workers

A huge “Thank You” to our panelists, Robin Larkin, Mina Merkel and Susan Suarez, for all the insight in various aspects of board collaboration tools and how to take it all online.

Also, a big “Thank You” to Jim O’Reilley for preparing and moderating the meeting, and to Mark Benson, who organized our food, set-up the room and was our note keeper on the flipchart. Thank you also to Tricia Leite to help with food & drinks set-up.

Thank you for all the people coming and making sure this was a spirited discussion.

Announcements:

Our moderator, Jim O’Reilley started us off with his remarks:
“To get us all on the same page, I want to define the word ‘Tool’ as we will use it tonight.

A tool is a way to get to a required process more efficiently. It can be software, hardware, or a method that gets us to the process. Our three consultants with us tonight use different tools, and that is what we will try to focus on. Our scribe will list the tools we discuss so that we can summarize the meeting and send it using a tool known as email.

A focal point for our topic tonight is that no matter what tools you use, the board must buy into your process if you are to succeed.”

May 2nd – Panel Discussion on Collaboration Tools for Nonprofit Boards & Remote Workers

How many times have you been on a painfully-long email discussion with board members or attempted to figure out which file is the most recent version of a group-edited document? How can a board include online engagement and collaboration tools as part of the board-building cycle?

Collaboration is integral to the work done by foundations and nonprofits. This is especially true for boards of directors tasked with working together to guide organizations — but when board members and staff are spread across multiple offices or geographic locations, collaboration is not as easy as sitting around a conference room table. Whether voting on proposed budgets, preparing financial documents or recommendations for upcoming meetings or evaluating pending grant proposals, sharing documents by email or participating in conference calls is sometimes not enough.

Join us for next month’s panel discussion with world-class nonprofit consultants

Panelist: (see short bios below)

• Robin Larkin, Performance Management Associates
• Mina Merkel, International Consultant and
• Susan Suarez, Suarez & Associates

Moderator:  Jim O’Reilley, NPTechProjects, 
When: May 2nd, 2017 – 6 pm to 8 pm
Where: Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 6340 Napa Woods Way, Naples, FL

“The Warm Up” ~ All first-time attendees will be greeted at 5:30 pm and will be introduced to our other members to help get the lay of the land, so to speak: What is Tech4Good, the agenda, and some of the routines we established throughout the meeting.

We invite all local nonprofit organizations to network, learn, test and explore new technologies, to exchange ideas and best practices. #nptech #t4gswfl #nptechclub #net2

Meeting Agenda:

• 5:30 set-up and new members
• 6:00 Dinner & introductions
• 6:30 Announcements

• Or, maybe you just need an annual check-up!

This month we’re acting out: a social media surgery.


Social media surgery is an informal, informative, and fun event started in the UK, where anyone in the community with questions about how to use social media (“patients”) come and sit down with an expert (“surgeons”, aka “doctors” as we would say) and get one-on-one, friendly, personal advice.

Think of this as an unconference: What happens at the event depends on who comes and what they want to learn. So bring your questions! Because of the nature of the event, you never know what you might learn or discover from other participants!

On hand to help answer your questions will be experts from our community who have the knowledge and experience necessary to inform and instruct you in using platforms and tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Tweetdeck, Hootsuite, Bit.ly, Pinterest, Google+ and Tumblr and many more.

Our social media experts surgeons so far:

• Karole Davis – Collier County Engagement Manager at Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida and
• Paula DiGrigoli – Executive Director at NCH Safe & Healthy Children’s Coalition
• Niccole Howard – Executive Director at Collier Child Care Resources

“The Warm Up” ~ All first-time attendees will be greeted at 5:30 pm and will be introduced to our other members to help get the lay of the land, so to speak: What are Tech4Good, the agenda, and some of the routines we establish throughout the meeting.

We invite all local nonprofit organizations to network, learn, test and explore new technologies, to exchange ideas and best practices. #nptech #t4gswfl #nptechclub #net2
