NetSquared to Launch a Central Massachusetts Group

Recently someone asked, "What makes you different?" I explained, "I am a grant consultant with a background in software and technology." If you're asking why that matters, you probably haven't had a chance to step behind the scenes of a small to mid-sized non-profit. These organizations are doing everything they can to fulfill their mission on a shoe-string budget. Most often, they have a very small staff, they start the day running and give 110%. Many of these organizations don't have their own technology staff or staff with technology expertise, leaving a knowledge gap.

I am excited to announce that Magic Lamp Consulting will be co-organizing a NetSquared Central Massachusetts Meetup Group to help bridge the technology gap.  NetSquared, a program of TechSoup, is a global network of #Tech4Good Meetups, they are volunteer-run groups with a mission to connect nonprofits with technology communities. NetSquared provides an informal way to network and learn from experts on everything pertaining to digital for nonprofits. 

NetSquared Central Massachusetts has announced the first three monthly Meetups, which will be held at the Leominster Public Library.

• What Is a TechSoup NetSquared Technology Meetup All About? - come network with us on Tuesday, March 24th while exploring the nonprofit technology issues that are keeping you up at night. Learn how we can work together to improve the Tech4Good skills at our local nonprofits. Discover how nonprofits can access a wide variety of product donation and discount programs through TechSoup's partnerships with companies like Microsoft, Google, Adobe, and Dell.
• Making the most of Office 365 for Nonprofits - join us on April 28th when Don May, a Microsoft Business and Education Solutions Specialist, will be presenting how to utilize Office 365 for the most impact in your nonprofit.
• CyberSecurity for Nonproifts - our May 26th presentation will feature a CyberSecurity specialist sharing steps you can take to protect your organization.

I hope you will have a chance to join us at one of our upcoming events. Please join our NetSquared Central Massachusetts Meetup Group to stay informed of upcoming monthly events.
