November Meeting Notes
We had a small but extremely productive meeting.
The meeting was held at NPower and a vocal core attended. Thanks to all that could make it and to those that could not, we hope you can attend the next meeting.
In fact upcoming meetings were the first order of business. We have tentatively set meetings for the following:
· December 10th - the Success tour is in town and we will link with that in some way (Time TBD) see information on the right
· January 21th - Tentatively set for the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance (9:00 – 11:00)
· February 18th - Tentatively set for the reinvestment fund. (9:00 – 11:00)
Next we talked about Salesforce certification and training. There will be additional information on training coming from Salesforce in the near future so keep your eyes open for that. Additional information on nonprofit training can be found at: http://www.salesforcefoundation.org/trainingpolicy.

Next the four of the meeting attendees that also went to Dreamforce all spoke on their takeaways and the new technology that was introduced. If you can get to Dreamforce you won’t be sorry you went.
