Digital technology has revolutionized nearly every aspect of society - and yet fewer than one-third of international nonprofits have digital strategies. How can NGOs realize the promise of technology without becoming overwhelmed by the weight of transformation?
Join us Thursday, September 7 for a lively discussion between Devex President and Editor-in-Chief Raj Kumar and NetHope CEO Lauren Woodman to explore how NGOs must embrace digital technology to deliver on their missions. This webinar comes ahead of NetHope's fall launch of the Center for the Digital Nonprofit, which will help organizations navigate this transformation.
During the event, you will learn:
- What digital transformation is -- and why it matters to global nonprofits
- How to focus on what really makes digital transformation successful (it’s not technology)
- How Devex and NetHope can support you on this journey
Admission is complimentary for Devex & NetHope members. Register here:
