 Good morning. Thank you so much for joining us for our webinar today. Today is Thursday, November the 9th, 2017. And my name is Lashika Phillips, and I am sitting here with an Account Management Specialist here at TechSoup. Her name is Stephanie Logios. And she is going to give us a special tour of the new TechSoup.org website. We are really, really excited and hope that this new design improved accessibility and functionality will definitely allow our members to take better advantage of our website anytime or anywhere. And so before we get started, I want to bring your attention to this lovely globe on your screen. And as you can see, we service nonprofits all over the world. And as you know, our mission is to build a dynamic bridge that really enables civil society organizations and social change agents around the world to gain effective access to technology. And that's what we do. And that's what we're doing here today. And we're showing you how our new website is going to help your nonprofit to really make change in your community. And here, we have a list of some of our corporate partners. And I'm sure that some of you are familiar with some of these names here. You've signed up to get some of these products. So yeah, we are featuring some of our corporate partners here. And just to know, Daphne will go into a little bit more detail about some of these partners and how you can access those products on our new website. So without further ado, I am going to bring Daphne on. And she is going to leave the way and share her screen and give us a tour of the website. So Daphne, take us away. Daphne Okay. So thank you so much for inviting me to participate in this. It's really exciting to be able to be able to speak with you as a group, not just one-on-one on the phone. And so what I'm going to be doing today is kind of walking you through the new website. We are very excited that it is going to be much more user-friendly and accessible and to make it easier for you to be able to do what you need to do for your organizations and your communities. So just starting at the top of the website, we have the top tabs, the login, and the join are still in the exact same place. So for those of you who are current members, you would go to the login for new members. You would go to the join. One thing that we are very excited about with this new design is it kind of showcases a little bit kind of a fuller picture of what we do here at TechSoup. We started out with our carousel which is going to feature some of the services and some of the great nonprofits that are doing some wonderful work. So we hope to kind of highlight kind of the new and exciting things that are available. Then we go down to this is our Tech Marketplace. And this will bring you to, we have these are some of our donors. And what I'm going to do is I am going to just click on the browse catalog. For those of you who have had experience with TechSoup, I think that you will find this new design much more accessible, much more easy on the eyes. One exciting thing is we have pulled these products as our nonprofit favorites. We know from experience that these are the ones that members go to over and over and over. So we pulled them out to make them all the easier for you to access. I just want to highlight just quickly one of them is one of our partners is into it. So what happens with these tabs? It brings you to the information about their donation program, the products that are available are nicely laid out. And then down here we have related content, articles, blog posts, things to help you use what you need to be using. So I'm actually just going to, I'm going to pop right back to the home page and continue our tour below our Tech Marketplace. This is where we can feature some new or old products that we hope that people will take advantage of. For example, we have a TechSoup booth and what that is is a special subscription for nonprofits. And nonprofits are then able to access discounted rates, waived fees, some kind of extra perks. And this can be a really wonderful way for organizations to be able to access more technology at a very reasonable rate. And just like all of the things on this website just really nicely laid out, to learn more and you click there, then it brings you directly to that page. Going down a little bit, this is something that we are very excited about. We realized, we've been realizing that it's not enough just to manage the donation programs for our donors and to provide access to the software, but that we also need to help the nonprofits be able to use these products and to give them the support which is sometimes very difficult with a nonprofit on a tight budget. These are some of our, we have four of these programs. I just want to touch on two of them really quickly and then you see how the page works. If you're interested, you come back and click on it and it brings you directly to that page to get some information. This IT Assist is a fairly new service we have. And what it does is we've partnered with a nonprofit technology support company and we're able to have you connect with them. It provides, it's a comprehensive program. It provides live help desk support, security performance, all of these things including the TechSoup booth subscription. And so with these programs, it's very personalized. And what you're able to do is you're able to fill out this information form with what kind of support you are looking for. And then what happens is that someone from our nonprofit partner will reach out to you and work with you to see kind of what you need and how to best help you use the technology wisely. The other one I would like to highlight which is very exciting is this new one called Consultant Connection. We know that there are many tech support people out there who are more than happy to help nonprofits. So this is a place where nonprofits can go and you can search a consultant directory. These are consultants that have been vetted by TechSoup. And so you can search by locality, by speciality. And this is a way for TechSoup to focus on building community and helping people in your communities make connections to support each other. So this is a new program that we are very excited about. So I'm just going to click on this to bring us back to the home page. And then we go down the other kind of exciting thing and it shows up on our home page but I'm also going to show it to you on this tab that we have many resources, articles, blogs, webinars to share the knowledge that we've learned, to have you learn more about how to utilize the technology. What I'm going to do is what I've been showing you, you can access it by the tabs at the top. I'm just going to click here on resources. It brings you to some articles and how to's. We're very excited. We've really tried to make the presentation much more accessible, much more easy to read, much more scannable so you can spend more time finding and using what you need instead of kind of digging around. And then we're also excited our blog has a new design and we're hoping that this will be an exciting platform for everybody to be able to participate in what we do and share your ideas and for us to be able to reach out to you. And then of course we have our webinars. On this page you get to the calendar information about upcoming webinars and different ways that you can connect so you can best utilize the technology. And as I said, one thing we're very excited about is we feel like this is just much more accessible and easy on the eyes and we really hope that you find it also. We really will appreciate any kind of feedback you give to us about your new user experience but we're really hopeful that this will make using TechSoup and taking advantage of some of our offers even easier. Wow, thank you Daphne. This is very, very exciting. The website, I just love how I love these new pages. I love that everything is really easy to find. I'm glad that you highlighted where the webinars are because that's exactly what I was going to talk about next. So again, thank you so much Daphne for giving us that information and giving us that tour. And so now what I would like to ask is for all of the learners out there, if you have questions, if you have any feedback on our new website or any of our webinars, feel free to send us an email at webinars at techsoupglobal.org. And last but definitely not least, we want to say hey, if there is something that you've learned, something that you want to share, hey, you know, you want to tell your other nonprofit colleagues in the community that TechSoup has a new website. It's so easy now to sign up for QuickBooks. Feel free to do so. We definitely love that feedback. And as I mentioned, here are some upcoming webinars that we have planned. Winter is coming. And so we want to know, are you ready for your year-end given season? If you're not, you may want to tune in. And if you think you are, you still may want to tune in just to get a little bit more information and get a lot of resources from that webinar on November 30th. It's going to be social media analytics, what to measure, and why. This is actually part two of our series for social media for libraries. And then we're going to finish our Winter is Coming series on December 8th where we will finish with part two. And so we really look forward to seeing you. Hope that you can join us.
