But for those who can capitalise on these opportunities, there has never been more direct way to reach motivated groups of passionate supporters, ones who will see your cause succeed. In this enlightening and highly practical session, author, filmmaker and web designer Mikey Leung will help you elevate your art of digital storytelling, using free and open source software platforms, to reach audiences just around the corner or indeed, worldwide.

Information management is a fundamental function of all not-for-profits. Organisational documents and records are valuable assets that not only provide evidence of organisational activities, but also support your strategic objectives and your day-to-day operations. Advances in information and communication technology over the last few decades have led to the creation and collection of vast quantities of documents and data in electronic systems. This has dramatically changed the way organisations need to approach their information management practices. Poor information management can seriously hamper the conduct of the organisation, lead to inefficient practices, lowered productivity and put an organisation at risk of regulatory non-compliance. Quality management of information, on the other hand, results in efficient work practices, improved decision making, clearer communication and reporting and can help with accountability and compliance.

This project will be running on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform. “We anticipate having amazing information which will help New Zealand learn better ways to protect vulnerable families, as a result of this project and the only way we could manage this, is through our wonderful new database.
