Soapbox Engage Blog

In what many have already dubbed the Salesforce non-profit world's "October surprise" for 2016, it's come to my attention that a treasure trove of videos has been released purporting to educate non-profit Salesforce organizations.

To top that off, a community of non-profiteers in San Francisco gathered at NPSP Day SF to self-organize and answer each other's Salesforce questions.

It's time to get to the bottom of all this "community enablement"...with a tall glass of knowledge at the PUB Crawl!

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