This non-technical presentation is specifically geared towards nonprofits which are starting to outgrow their current approach to tracking, managing, and reporting on volunteer activity. The right volunteer data management solution can help free up time for managing volunteers (rather than administering the process), enable your organization to make better decisions through targeted reporting, and even increase volunteer hours by making it easier for individuals to engage with your nonprofit.</p> <p>Those organizations currently using paper, spreadsheets, or desktop databases will benefit just as much as those nonprofits already using a purpose built volunteer management system. Join us, share your own experiences, and learn from others as you are walked through the process of choosing and putting in a volunteer management system that best meets the unique needs of your organization.</p> <p>Key Takeaways Include:</p> <ul> <li>A step by step process for selecting the right database to recruit, schedule, coordinate, and communicate with volunteers as well as produce reports for use within the organization</li> <li>A roadmap for moving to the new volunteer management system</li> <li>Common selection and implementation issues and how to avoid them</li> </ul><p><strong style="font-size: large;">About the presenter</strong></p> <p><strong>Jeff Turner</strong>, PMP is the Principal at NPO Back Office, a company specializing in supporting the technology needs of small and volunteer run nonprofits.

description Tuesday, November 12, 2013 Nerd Nite is a monthly event that strives for an inebriated, salacious, yet deeply academic vibe. We aim to entertain, educate, elucidate, enlighten, and other things that start with “e.” Be there and be square. When: Tuesday, November 12, 2013, doors at 6:00pm, event at 7:00pm Where: Mission Theater, 1624 NW Glisan, Portland Cost: $8.00 suggested cover at the door, or available online This Nerd Nite will feature just one speaker, the unforgettable Scott Burns! One of the greatest sets of geological events to ever have occurred in North America was the Missoula Floods. Occurring as many as 40 times during the last ice age, the floods were caused by waters released from ancient Lake Missoula that scoured the Columbia River basin, carved out the Columbia River Gorge, and swept across at least 16,000 square miles of the Pacific Northwest. At this Nerd Nite, Scott Burns, PhD, http://geology.pdx.edu/node/67, professor of geology and past chair of the Department of Geology at PSU, will focus on the incredible story of discovery and development of the idea of the floods by J Harlen Bretz and will discuss the effect of the floods on the landscape of the Willamette Valley and the area around us. *A note on the suggested cover: Nerd Nite is completely supported by money collected at the door. We are committed to offering education opportunities to adults who want to learn, so if $8 is a hardship for you, please come anyway and donate what you can. _______ Check out Nerd Nite on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/nerdniteportland and Meetup http://www.meetup.com/Nerd-Nite-Portland/.

description nil The Northwest Regional Women in Computing (NWrWIC) Celebration focuses on empowering and encouraging women to enter the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields, particularly computer science. The conference brings together students from universities and high schools, with industry leaders from the private and public sectors to engage and inspire the next generation of leaders to play an active role in shaping the future of computing and technology. The 2013 conference, to be held in October, is the second annual event. Our mission is to encourage women to pursue and build successful careers in computing and technology by improving their educational experience and engagement with industry leaders. With less than 30% of STEM jobs filled by women, the industry is lacking full representation of the world’s views. This lack of diversity inhibits industry’s innovation potential. Our effort recognizes and empowers women who are part of the computing industry and celebrates all who are supporters of them. If you are the following, then you would want to come: College professionals, industry leaders, Job seekers, STEM/Technology leaders, Thought leaders, Professors, Teachers, High School STEM students(must be accompanied by guardian) Register for an early bird special: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/3872721414?ref=elink Top companies and universities will be present
