The NTEN staff is consistently amazed at how fabulous our members are. But honestly, last Wednesday, on NTEN Give Thanks day, you really blew our minds. There was so much love floating around it silenced the NTEN office -- which is really hard to do! -- while we sifted through your posts and reflected on your greatness.

It may seem like so much fun to round up friends and record a video about why you are all so passionate about a cause, then edit it with catchy backgound music and effects, and post it on YouTube. This is a big one.

Fun and humor, used in the right way and in the appropriate context, can help boost your social fundraising campaign. The most recent example comes from Holly Ross, Executive Director of NTEN, who is willing to loose her dignity to help $10,000 for the Nonprofit Technology Conference scholarship fund.

November is Member Appreciation Month at NTEN. NTEN''s Development Manager, Eileigh Doineau, shares her #ntenthanks for NTEN''s Members. This is my third Member Appreciation Month here at NTEN, which seems amazing to me because I feel both like I just got here and as though I have always been here.

With NTEN''s website redesign project underway, we took a step back and asked, "How do we know how our users use our site and what they want if we don''t ask? So we turned to the NTEN community, as we will continue to do at various stages of the redesign process, for your candid feedback about the NTEN website.

My name is James; I’m the latest addition to the NTEN team as a Program Coordinator. I love the outdoors as much as I love my tech toys and have fun finding ways to integrate the two with cool gear; though, I admit not always successfully. I''m proud to join NTEN''s community and help nonprofits use technology to meet their goals.

Dear #12NTC - The NTC concluded last night, and then began the fun (and I am not being sarcastic here) of answering the question, "How'd it go?" To be honest, for NTEN staff, the bar for this show was pretty low. This is the most fun I have had at the NTC!" More than NTEN will be able to address in the coming year.

Something similar happened a few years back when NTEN scheduled NTC over Passover. Now I'm on the Board of NTEN and Holly and I joke about my being the "calendar police" since she almost scheduled a NTC over Passover again another year and I caught it in time. It's how I met Holly Ross in the first place.

It's really important to NTEN that we're able to bring conference-goers the educational opportunities they want to see. This brought up the balancing act between the "fun" part of communications and the more difficult parts one can be forced to play at a small nonprofit. How do we balance it all?
