Soapbox Engage Blog

When our NPSP community comes together, great things happen. And that's even before we get to the burritos. We find that the opportunity to learn from each other enables us to become empowered contributors to our community. So it's not surprising that in the middle of American election hurricane was an eye of peace and happiness last Friday at the NPSP Day DC.

As I get ready to bring the NPSP community gatherings to San Francisco this week, it's time to fill up the batteries again on some Salesforce knowledge. Another PUB Crawl round on the house!

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