<p>Join us for tips on running an organization from folks who work in for-profit companies and want to share their wisdom — especially as it relates to technology and tech management.</p> <p><b>Lessons for Non-Profits from Your For-Profit Friends</b></p> <p>There are things I needed to know about running a successful nonprofits that I learned from my for-profit friends.</p> <p>Let’s face it—there isn't much difference between non-profits and for-profits. We both have strategies, missions statements, goals we must met… however, there are helpful hints I think non-profits could learn from a for-profit organization. </p> <p>You’ll leave this meetup with the 10 lessons you can immediately put into action at your non-profit.</p> <p>We’ll cover lots of topics:</p> <p>• Quick and easy tech tools to start using … and they are free</p> <p>• How to fake being an extrovert… a social guide to networking and fundraising</p> <p>• Recruiting virtual volunteers</p> <p>• How to run successful events</p> <p>• Basic project management</p> <p>• Wearing multiple hats without getting a headache…</p> <p>• Marketing 101 and why it’s important</p> <p>• Consultative solutioning</p> <p>• Multiculturalism</p> <p>• How to lose your audience in 5 minutes or less (when not to talk tech)</p> <p>• How to close the deal/donation</p> <p><b>PRESENTERS</b></p> <p><b>Christy Howell Moore</b> has over 20 years in for profit environments working with local, Fortune 500 companies and the Japanese government. She has an MBA in sales and marketing but most of her success is due to well-honed street smarts and a variety of jobs. Christy is a pioneer in the food industry specializing in convenience stores. She volunteers with several local non-profits. You can connect with her on LinkedIn and Twitter. Seriously send her a marketing problem she’ll work with you on a solution (for 5 cents) just like Lucy from the Peanuts. </p> <p><b>Stephanie Gutowski </b></p> <p><b>TWITTER</b></p> <p>Event: Use the #pdxt4g hashtag, and/or mention @PDXTech4Good<br>Presenters: @SigmaRue<br>Venue host: @idealist<br>Sponsors: @NTENorg and @NetSquared</p> <p><b>AGENDA</b></p> <p>Networking and refreshments: 6pm-6:30pm<br>Presentation: 6:30pm-7:50pm<br>Q&A: 7:50pm-8pm</p> <p><b>ACCESSIBILITY</b></p> <p><b>Mobility Access: </b>This venue is wheelchair accessible.<br><b>Hearing Access: </b>We will not have access to a PA.<br><b>Sight Access: </b>Presentations will use a projector.</p> <p>We want everyone to be able to participate in the PDXTech4Good community and events.

We'll explore how technology can help support activism and where activism can push it forward.</p> |
