(Event is free.)</p> <p><strong>About our speaker</strong></p> <p>Lila Pigott joined the ranks of nonprofit technology consultants in 2012. After more than 15 years in nonprofit and mission-based organizations, she realized her true passion was helping the enthusiastic and unsupported or intimidated and reluctant overcome the organizational inertia often associated with adopting new technology.</p> <p>In her current role as a Solutions Analyst with Idealist Consulting, Lila works directly with nonprofit organizations and provides analysis, advice, and support to improve business processes and implement constituent relationship database solutions.</p> <p><strong>Parking</strong></p> <p>Parking in this area is free. It is limited to two hours, but only until 7:00 PM. We expect there will be ample parking by 6:00.</p> <p><strong>What you'll get out of PDXTech4Good events:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <strong>Nonprofit staffers</strong> will find a friendly, welcoming atmosphere for those not experienced with technology, and many chances to ask questions of tech-experienced nonprofits and experts.</li> <li> <strong>Techies</strong> will find opportunities to hear the real-world stories of nonprofit clients, and put their own expertise to social good — as well as the potential for lasting relationships (be they paid or volunteer) with leading organizations in our community.</li> <li> <strong>Activists</strong> and community organizers will see and be given the chance to present on successful uses of technology for social change. We'll explore how technology can help support activism and where activism can push it forward.</li> </ul> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.meetup.com/pdxtech4good-nonprofit-activist-tech/events/102141692/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
