Jewish Professionals and Lay Leaders Gather at NTEN

Jewish folks gather for lunch at NTEN

For the first time, there is siginificant representation from the Jewish community at The Nonprofit Technology Network Conference. I’m giddy!  I consider it an important milestone that Jewish organizations are realizing the need to get outside of our bubble to learn from the broder nonprofit community’s work in this area.  We gathered at lunch today to meet each other, learn about what brought us to NTEN, and to identify the issues we’re wrestling with and dreaming about.

Participants include Judy and Matt from PEJE, Adam Simon from the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation, Morgan from AJWS, Rina from the Foundation for Jewish Camp, Royi Biller from the Rothchild Foundation in Israel, and many more.  We had to squeeze extra chairs into an already full table to accomodate everyone.  Hallmark of success?  Everyone asked if we can sit together at lunch tomorrow to continue the conversation, and launch a Google Group to continue the discussion and add others from our organizations who aren’t at NTEN.  Yes and Yes!
