Contributed by: Ferlie YrumaOn June 4, 2008, CASA of Washtenaw County and NEW's npServ co-hosted an event to present live demonstrations of a range of Google applications offered free for nonprofits. CASA of Washtenaw County case studies were used to show how Google tools specifically benefit nonprofits' needs, whether it is enhanced outreach, higher productivity, or simply doing more with less. Topics such as online advertising, website enhancement and hosting, word processing and office applications, donations processing, shared calendars event ticket sales and processing, and collaborative document management were discussed during the event.
The Detroit Google training brought together 50 nonprofit representatives at Techtown, representatives who recognize the value of using free technology to improve operations of nonprofits. This is the second event hosted by CASA of Washtenaw County and NEW's npServ, an event that was also made possible by our event partners: Hannan House and NEW Detroit. The first one was held in Ann Arbor in March, 2008.
According to the audience feedback, the event was a huge success! It was evident that the techphiles and techphobes alike simply got it.
