August's PDX Tech4Good Meeting!

Save the date! Our latest PDX Tech4Good meeting will focus on Change Management and Change Engagement with Todd of Zero Strategist. This discussion will take place August 24 from 5:30-7:30 at Lucky Lab (915 SE Hawthorne Blvd in Portland).

 

This gathering of PDX Tech4Good focuses on the smooth integration of social media into your organization. We've heard all the excuses for putting off a social media presence a thousand times: the ED thinks you'll spend way too much time on facebook, the Board doesn't think it's going to give any results, your demographic is not represented on social media, etc. This session will be all about how to address these issues and bring your nonprofit all the benefits of social media.
