Hi current or future Nonprofit Salesforce User Group members,
What do you want to get out of the gatherings? Please let me know by filling out the six question survey below.

Young? Care about things? Here’s some events of interest!
The BC Advisory Council on Social Entrepreneurship wants to get younger social entrepreneurs and innovators involved in their recommendations to the BC government.
A Lightning Pitch Event on March 6th will feature 90 second pitches from some of the most exciting initiatives from under 30’s in BC (and cash prizes!), and provide ample opportunity to network with emerging and established social change leaders, including members of the Council.
On March 10th we’re hosting a follow-up Speak Up!mini-conference for youth and youth serving organizations to generate more specific recommendations and feedback based on the Advisory Councils draft report (see below).
Information and registration links here:
Lightening Pitch Event (March 6th – $10)
Speak Up! (mini-conference) (March 10th – free)
Your Feedback is Needed – The BC Advisory Council on Social Entrepreneurship is about to present recommendations to the BC government on advancing social innovation in the province, and wants to hear from young social innovators before they finalize their report. Their draft report can be found here.

There has been a sea change recently creating new models for how social change organizations (or start up businesses) structure themselves to accomplish a social good. Network organizations, typically those “born after the Internet”, are smaller, nimble, less hierarchical, highly collaborative and deeply social by nature. Their leadership, culture, structure, programs, and outcomes are often quite different from those of traditionally structured NGO’s.
As these structures are more aligned with the fundamental organizing principles of the web, done right this enables these organizations to punch far above their weight online. In this session we will discuss:
Come with your own examples and expect a fulsome discussion on the benefits and limitations of this controversial hypothesis.
