@SFTech4Good Monthly Newsletter May 2020 - Forging Ahead

Posted May 28th, 2020 by reginawalton

I hope that you're all staying safe, are taking care of yourselves and your loved ones as you're able, and following the shelter-in-place guidelines in your respective municipalities. It's been a few weeks since the last official newsletter and resource-focused emails went out.

Coronavirus: Caring for the #SFTech4Good Community

Posted Mar 19th, 2020 by reginawalton

Of course, I'd love to be in the middle of planning the next in-person events. It became clear in late February that the viral threat was growing exponentially and planning for the March event was officially canceled on March 3rd. I always love it when an event comes together with a room full of enthusiastic people who are there to network and learn. Now the health and safety of this community, the Bay Area, our country, and the world take precedence. This is a reminder to us all about how connected we are.

Join us on October 30th at Slalom for a panel on Blockchain for Good.

The panel will discuss how blockchain is being used for social change. The discussion will touch: accessibility, negative impact on social impact issues, good and bad aspects of deploying blockchain for good, and policy considerations.

There will also be time for questions.

Panelists:

Kyle Graden, Founder & CEO, WitWay

This event will be proudly co-sponsored by Slalom’s Technology Enablement Practice and Slalom.org in San Francisco. Slalom.org strengthens the communities in which we live and work through positive impact in meaningful ways.

Volunteering is EASY. I'll need help with check-in, keeping refreshments and food stocked and replenished as needed, and a mic runner or two for Q&A.
