It's been a whirlwind of a week, with events like fourth annual NPSP Day Portland, my 15th Nonprofit Technology Conference, and an awesome Amplify party. Phew. Before heading to Africa for our second NPSP Day on the continent, I'm gathering thoughts after seeing some great community knowledge.

For those of you in the Pacific Northwest that joined us for all the fun, thanks for sharing your time and ideas! For everyone else, here's a little snippet of that community knowledge, packed into this week's PUB Crawl.

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

Great Ideas for Nonprofits Using Salesforce
