Program: Distributing the Future: the hows, whys
and benefits of being a tech volunteer
Speaker: Sean Dague
About the topic:
Sean Dague will be sharing his experiences stepping into the
role of technology volunteer for the Poughkeepsie Farm Project.
Over the last 3 years he's helped that organization launch a new
Drupal based website, streamline communication based on the new
website, and is in the process of simplifying and consolodating
internal information systems around CiviCRM.
This talk will be about that journey, lots of considerations
made along the way, and what it means to give back at a level
that completely transforms a non-profit organization.
