Course Description
This session shows how any nonprofit board can develop and execute an Internet strategy to further its mission. We'll examine how nonprofits boards are using the Internet, how they'd like to be using the Internet, and how they should be using the Internet (but may be unaware of) - and how to bridge that significant gap easily and quickly. Learn how boards can use the Internet to enhance fundraising, build communities, enhance your mission, access sensitive documents, even how to collaborate with its committees.
