Why We Love Webinars

Those of you following NOI know that we launched a webinar series this year, dipping into the new technology toolkit to provide a unique and convenient way for people across the globe to be involved in NOI trainings.

We just wrapped up our ninth webinar yesterday, and before surging ahead to the next one we wanted to share what we've been up to along the way and invite you to let us know what kind of trainings you've been pining away for so we can plan our upcoming events.

There's been a pretty healthy-sized attendance on the NOI webinars, which feature guest practicioners in the field and a variety of topics to pick from for one-hour trainings. The best part? You can join in from your computer, and be involved in NOI's respected training program from anywhere in the world.

Here's what we've covered so far, with the help of the NOI Trainers Bureau members:

• Online Organizing 101
• Online Fundraising
• Developing an Online Strategy
• Working with Blogs and Bloggers
• Online Organizing 101 (Repeated on May 6 2009, featuring Joaquin Guerra)
• Best Practices in Email Writing
• Web Design Basics
• Social Networking Basics
• Job Advice and Tips

If you'd like a copy of a webinar you've missed, please contact shayne@neworganizing.com. We're asking for a donation to NOI for each webinar requested, and Shayne can get you those details as well.

As to our second ask - let us know what topics you'd like to be trained on! NOI has a great network of trainers, and we're happy to do our best to set up events on what's needed most in the progressive movement. We'll be checking back at this blog, so post a comment or email heather@neworganizing.com to suggest the next webinar.

Thanks!
