Nonprofit organizations often make significant financial investments in databases to manage key information about clients, services, staff, donors, and volunteers. But software is only one piece of the puzzle. Clear and thoughtful plans, streamlined and consistent processes, and trained and supported people are key to the successful management of any database. In this workshop, participants will learn to identify non-software-related causes and solutions to common pain points in database management.
This is an interactive synchronous distance learning course via Zoom.
