NOTEWORTHY QUOTES
“Technology can make us more efficient, so we can focus on human-to-human work.”
“Technology can help overall institutional collaboration, but also institutional knowledge, as turnover is one of the biggest challenges in the nonprofit world. A lot of time when someone leaves their organization, they take all of the knowledge with them and you don't have that data.”
