Last week was a blur of activity in our Salesforce non-profit community, with Chicago playing host to the NPSP Community Sprint, Midwest Dreamin', and WITness Success. I even witnessed one of the greatest NPSP Weather Reports ever (and you can see my other NPSP Sprint photos, too)! It's clear that there's strength in the Salesforce community's leadership!
From the success of NPSP Community Sprint, I'm in Bozeman, Montana today, gearing up for the inaugural NPSP Day Bozeman. With the recent string of Amsterdam, London, and New York, the local Bozeman community has put itself on equal footing, with the exception of its stunning mountain views!
So, put on your hiking shoes, grab a cup of your favorite beverage, and join me for the PUB Crawl from big sky country!
Don't forget, you can have the goodness of the PUB Crawl delivered into your inbox each Monday morning by subscribing today!
