AGM - art of possible | September 22, 2011

As guest speaker, Amanda Grainger discussed some of the newest technology approaches for non-profit organizations as it relates to improving information sharing and transparency in the sector. Framework has built a strong technology motto that defines how they work internally and with external stakeholders: "Create Information Once - Distribute it Widely - and Access it in Multiple Places". For Framework, sharing information by default IS the new normal. Amanda will discuss Framework's use of low cost, highly scalable web tools to demonstrate how they are sharing information in new ways.
