iSisters mentors and educates women about the possibilities of technology. Our goal is to increase economic independence and self-esteem, by providing free access to innovative and customized learning programs that build capacity within each woman and within the non-profit sector.

Amanda was invited to present to iSisters during their AGM and 10th Anniversary Celebration. As iSisters reflects on the previous 10 years and where they have been as an organization, they also wanted to look to the "future" of the cloud and discuss what is on the technology horizon.

Amanda was invited to host a webinar for Girls Action Foundation as part of the Light a Spark Campaign.

"Amanda will talk about how you can work smarter, not harder to further your social mission (personal or professional) using web-based tools. The webinar will include a demo of affordable software tools that allow you to easily collaborate with others on projects, as well as share documents, files and budgets."

Feedback:
I saw Amanda speak at the Skills for Change Annual Meeting about the "art of the possible" using social media and technology. I was very impressed with her ability to engage an audience of all levels of knowledge, her knowledge of social media and technology and her passion and ability to share information on the innovative work she is doing with Timeraiser. Thank you to Amanda for being such a great leader and sharing all this valuable information.

How many times have you emailed a document back and forth, and eventually lost track of which was the current version? How do you keep track of all the things you need to do, and keep others in the loop? Is preparing for a board meeting a monumental effort?

April is the second month in our Technology Planning for Nonprofits series, and the focus for this month is on collaboration and productivity. At our April Toronto Net Tuesday, Timeraiser andCharity Village will share the strategies and tools they use to collaborate with others - coworkers, board, partners and public - and make the best use of their time.
