Fall is creeping in,
today in New England is a bright crisp day! We are about to announce the schedule for Tech Day Camp, and we have a whole series for NPO directors, staff and volunteers!! Hope you can make it Saturday, Oct 22! Now on to the picks for the week.
1. From our favorite advisor, Susan Hammond: Advisory Boards Can Improve Fiduciary Boards
Many problems in governance start with uneducated people getting onto a board, corporate or nonprofit. They are asked by a trusted colleague because they are successful in business or some other endeavor. That success in turn is seen as preparing you to serve on a board. Wrong!

3. More about changes on Facebook and Pages from Beth Kanter about: Facebook Changes for Organization Pages: Focus On Results

Many people are wondering what it means for nonprofit brands using Facebook as one of their marketing channels. So are people like me who do coaching and training on how to use Facebook effectively. It makes no sense to freak out.
4. From another presenter, John Haydon, a regular
here on Friday: The most important question you could ask a new donor
What made you donate to our organization?

There are simple solutions to this, so if you’re thinking about revamping your nonprofit’s website, take these tips into consideration…
