Dear Colleague,

If you are interested in how nonprofit organizations use technology to help fulfill their social missions, you are welcome to join the Information Systems Forum.

The Information Systems Forum is an opt-in, flame-free email distribution list for nonprofit professionals who want to use information technology to increase organizational effectiveness. The members range from the techno-phobic to the techno-savvy - we share news, information, advice, and referrals on an informal, collegial basis.

Topics range from the immediate ("how can I stop my monitor from flickering?") to the strategic ("what is the best approach to mission-based tech planning for a nonprofit on a tight budget?") to the highly specialized ("where can I find step-by-step instructions for putting a DONATE NOW button on our Dreamweaver web site?").

This is a friendly exchange among peers, and there is (of course) no charge for membership. Advertisements of products or services for sale are strongly discouraged.

Because the Information Systems Forum is strictly an opt-in list, you will not be added to it unless you confirm that you are interested. To do that, just send a blank email to information_systems_forum-SUBSCRIBE@yahoogroups.com. If you have any colleagues who are also interested in the topic, please feel free to pass along this invitation to them.

Many thanks and best regards from Deborah
