Well, that was a pretty action packed end to last week. Within about 24 hours, I worked my way through some breaking community news, including an engaging Ask Me Anything session with the Salesforce SVP for Nonprofit Cloud, and the departure of Kevin Bromer from Salesforce.

I'm still slightly exhausted, but not tired enough to go through the photo albums to find some classic Kevin photos. The photo below isn't the common way I'd expect to see Kevin, but it's an awesome "Hey, check it out, I get to do the 'What's working?' part of an NPSP Day!"

Without getting too sappy, I'll say that Kevin has been one of the most vocal, boldest, and biggest supporters of the NPSP and open source community that I've had a chance to work with in the Salesforce ecosystem. It was an honor nerding out with him during the creation of the early NPSP community governance plans, at the early sprints I organized, and amongst new users of Salesforce. His parting words below sum up nearly a decade of work, and shine a light in the right direction moving forward.

This week, I'd recommend you make it a double of whatever you're drinking, because there's a ton of important content to go through. Cozy up, silence your phone, and get ready to dive into the deep-end of knowledge and feedback this week.
