One of the unique aspects that makes the 2018 Nonprofit Technology Conference (#18NTC) so fascinating is they facilitate registered users voting for sessions they want (and need) to see at the conference. We’re not talking suggested topics, rather, the full list of submitted proposals.

#18NTC kicked off the voting process yesterday and will keep it open through Friday, September 1st.

I would be grateful if everyone could take a moment to vote for the sessions I submitted along with one where I would serve as a panelist. You will need a registered user account to vote but the good news is registration is free and very fast.

Just select the “Login/Signup” button in the main menu, fill out a few form fields, and you’re all set. And if you aren’t a full member, I strongly recommend joining.

About Drew McManus

"I hear that every time you show up to work with an orchestra, people get fired." Those were the first words out of an executive's mouth after her board chair introduced us. That executive is now a dear colleague and friend but the day that consulting contract began with her orchestra, she was convinced I was a hatchet-man brought in by the board to clean house.

I understand where the trepidation comes from as a great deal of my consulting and technology provider work for arts organizations involves due diligence, separating fact from fiction, interpreting spin, as well as performance review and oversight. So yes, sometimes that work results in one or two individuals "aggressively embracing career change" but far more often than not, it reinforces and clarifies exactly what works and why.

In short, it doesn't matter if you know where all the bodies are buried if you can't keep your own clients out of the ground, and I'm fortunate enough to say that for more than 15 years, I've done exactly that for groups of all budget size from Qatar to Kathmandu.

For fun, I write a daily blog about the orchestra business, provide a platform for arts insiders to speak their mind, keep track of what people in this business get paid, help write a satirical cartoon about orchestra life, hack the arts, and love a good coffee drink.
