Personal background
I believe that technology should serve people and communities by strengthening and supporting work for social, economic, and environmental justice. Strategic use of information puts power in the hands of progressive organizations and activists, and facilitates more effective communication with constituents, potential supporters, decision-makers, funders, and each other.

I founded my consulting business in April 2000 after working professionally in nonprofit project management for seven years. My mission is to combine the power of information, community organizing, and nonprofit resourcefulness to make strategic technology work for progressive organizations in North Carolina and around the world. I do this by:

*9Designing, building, and maintaining web sites that can serve constituents, reach supporters, educate the public, and promote an organization or cause.
*9Developing databases to manage and analyze information about members, donors, clients, evaluations, events, or just about anything.
*9Leading group presentations and training one-on-one with nonprofit staff and volunteers on using technology strategically and effectively.
