1. Training Your Staff on Technology: TechSoup Resources
With Susan Hope Bard and Becky Wiegand, TechSoup
August 23, 2016
Welcome everyone to: Title
Thanks so much for joining us today.

2. Using ReadyTalk Chat to ask questions All lines are muted
If you lose your Internet connection, reconnect using the link ed to you.
If you lose your phone connection, re-dial the phone number and re-join.
ReadyTalk support:
Before we get started I want to make sure everyone is comfortable using Readytalk, the webinar platform we are using today. You can chat using the box in the lower left side of your screen. At any time let us know if you have any technical issues such as audio problems or being able to view the slides. You may ask questions for our presenters at any time and we will keep track of them. We will keep all lines muted so that you can get a clear recording to refer to later. You will get that full recording, slides, and any links we share today in a followup from me by tomorrow. If you lose your connection, you can go back to your registration to reconnect.
If you were registered more than an hour ago, the reminder has the PowerPoint slide deck attached as a link in the right hand column. Keep in mind a lot of today’s webinar will be a live shared demo so that won’t be in the slides, but will be in the recording to view later. If you are hearing an echo, you may be logged in twice, so you will need to close one of the Readytalk windows. If you have any other technical issues, dial into the 800 number.
Your audio will play through your computer’s speakers. Hear an echo? You may be logged in twice and will need to close one instance of ReadyTalk.

The Need Is Global – And So Are We
TechSoup’s mission is to build a dynamic bridge that enables civil society organizations and social change agents around the world to gain effective access to the resources they need to design and implement solutions for a more equitable planet.
TechSoup Global doesn’t just help NGOs overcome barriers to effective use of technology. We also help NGOs overcome language, economic, geographic, cultural, knowledge, and access barriers.
We create new ways to access technology, new paths to connect and network, and new means to learn and develop skills — all so that NGOs can operate at their full potential, more effectively deliver their programs and services, and better achieve their missions.
