It’s hard to believe that the 2012 NTC is a wrap. As Holly wrote in the #NTCFail blog post outlining the things that didn’t go as planned at the event, we value being open and accountable at NTEN. But we also want to share the things that were awesome, the pieces of the NTC that we feel pretty good about at the end of the day.

If social media is to truly pay off as a long term investment, it must be integrated closely with your database of donors and messaging in other channels, and your social media campaigns must eventually result in the cultivation of long term, loyal donors. Some sectors have continued to grow, despite the recession, but overall giving did not.
