Help Beth Kanter Celebrate Her 51st Birthday!
You may know her as the author of the NpTech Tag Sumary, but the Connecting Up Conference calls Beth Kanter, "the undisputed ‘queen’ of the US Not for Profit technology scene." La Solidaridad describes her as, "a premiere nonprofit technology consultant," and Podnosh Blog has bestowed her with the title of, "queen of online fundraising."
Appropriately, Beth is celebrating her 51st birthday by participating in the Case Foundation's Giving Challenge and raising money for the Sharing Foundation.
Find out more about how she is celebrating her b-day plans on her blog post: Beth's 51st Birthday Challenge: Can I get 51 people to donate $10 to the Sharing Foundation for my birthday? (It's on Jan. 11th).
