As we look at Dreamforce 2016 in the rearview mirror, it's obvious to see that this was an important inflection point for our nonprofit Salesforce community. Community members rallied support and resources behind the NPSP. Salesforce.org showcased the fantastic investments it's making into the NPSP. The NPSP gained its first gymnastics team sponsorship (see below).

In front of us is an incredible opportunity to focus on the impact we can make together on the world. I can't think of a better way to start the next leg of this journey than to post-Dreamforce detox with a tall glass of knowledge at the PUB Crawl. Shall we?

Don't forget, you can have the goodness of the PUB Crawl delivered into your inbox each Monday morning by subscribing today!
