I've been a member of NTEN since its first year. NTEN has connects me with my peers, helps me keep with new developments in the field, and constantly learning. NTEN's annual conference is like a family reunion for me, been attending for over 10 years. In 2004, I attended a session by Marnie Webb called "What the Heck is A Blog and Why You Should Care" - it inspired me to get serious about blogging. NTEN has empowered thousands of people who work on technology for nonprofits to do their best work. That's why I'm helping to raise $500 and will match donations dollar for dollar!
