SUMMARY:Free Idealware Webinar: Tech Trends 2018
DESCRIPTION:It’s now possible to buy a cup of coffee using Bitcoin\, but does digital currency have any effect on your nonprofit? Self-driving cars are starting to appear on the streets and artificial intelligence in our homes\, but should nonprofits even bother getting up to speed on these emerging technologies when many organizations aren’t even in the cloud yet? \nIn this look at tech trends\, our panelists will tackle these topics and answer audience questions while focusing on what’s worth our attention and what practical steps we can take to prepare for the future. REGISTER HERE \nPanelists:\nCheryl Contee\, CEO of Fission Strategy\nKevin Lo\, Tech Soup Global\nTim Dechant\, Chief Partnership Officer at Information Technology Partners \nModerator: Eric Leland\, Partner at Five Paths\, Idealware Expert Trainer\nEric has spent two decades working with progressive organizations and businesses tackling online and offline technology challenges. He’s a founding partner of FivePaths (fivepaths.com)\, a technology firm that offers strategic technology consulting\, information architecture\, and web CMS and CRM platform development expertise to each project. Eric is very active in nonprofit\, philanthropy\, and technology circles\, having served as co-chair to the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network in San Francisco\, on the National Advisory Board for the Addiction Technology Transfer Center\, and as a member of NTEN and the Tech Underground. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Nonprofit Data for Beginners
DESCRIPTION:Three 90-minute webinars\, Thursdays February 8\, 15\, and 22.  \nTo make smart decisions about the future of your organization\, you need a clear understanding of your organization’s activities and the outcomes they achieve. But where can you find the data and how do you make sense of it all? Nonprofit Data for Beginners\, presented in partnership with Idealware\, is a three-week course that will show you how to ask important questions\, find the right data\, and use the information to strengthen your organization. \nRegular Cost: $120 \nWVNPA Member Cost: $95 (email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for the discount code) \nREGISTER HERE \nThe term “big data” gets used (and misused) a lot\, making it seem scary and expensive. But bigger isn’t always better. Gathering the right data—and knowing how to use it—is what matters. \nJoin us for Nonprofit Data for Beginners\, a three-week course designed to help you ask the right questions\, find the data you need\, and use your data to strengthen your organization. \nThrough participation in this course\, you will: \n\nConsider what questions you need your data to answer.\nLearn how to define your goals and develop processes for collecting your data.\nExplore the many places where you can find useful data.\nLearn how to manage your metrics and data so that they remain useful over the long term.\nDive into case studies of real organizations using data to make decisions.\n\nToolkit Schedule: \nAll sessions take place Wednesday at 1 pm Eastern and last for 90 minutes. \nFebruary 8: Asking the Right Questions\nSimply collecting data is not enough. Deciding early on what you will do with that data—and why you want it in the first place—will help you to define goals and approaches. We’ll talk through how to define your organization’s own data-based metrics strategy from the ground up. \nFebruary 15: Hunting Down the Data\nMore often than not\, the most useful data won’t be found already neatly laid out in a spreadsheet. You might find extremely valuable data in handwritten staff notes\, in multiple software systems\, or public repositories. We’ll discuss where different data can live\, which sources of data might be useful\, and where and how you can collect it to be ready for analysis. \nFebruary 22: Making Use of Your Data\nIn the final course\, we will discuss the various ways you will need to manage and use the data you’ve collected. We’ll consider the logistics of entering\, storing\, and maintaining your data. We’ll also look at how to develop an action plan that ensures your data program is useful and sustainable. \nOther Info: \nParticipants will also be given weekly “homework” assignments. \nPlease register with the email address where you would like to receive the access code and dial-in information for the online seminar. All registered participants are granted access to the recordings of each session. Participants who cannot attend any of the sessions due to scheduling conflicts will still have access to the toolkit presentation decks and handouts. \nREGISTER HERE
