TechSoup Connect Texas Chapter | Formerly Nonprofit Tech Club Austin


 

About

TechSoup Connect Texas is an all-volunteer club. Programs are offered year-round and they are free to all. Click on the link to see the current program slate. 

Our goal is to help nonprofits identify tech solutions and techniques that enable them to operate more efficiently and effectively. Join us! 

We would love to have more help with the following:

ADVANCE PLANNING

  • Sharing speaker and topic ideas with the team.
  • Interfacing with guest speakers in advance, mostly online and/or by phone as questions arise (especially important if you were the volunteer suggesting them as a speaker).
  • Posting new events online.
  • When we meet in person again, we normally can use help ordering refreshments and having them delivered and/or bringing them yourself - Dale Thompson is currently in charge.
  • Sharing information on your own social media platforms, and encouraging others to share online.
  • If you would like to host one of our programs (i.e., attend, introduce the club and the guest speaker, monitor questions throughout, etc.), your leadership would be welcome.

THE DAY OF

  • Making sure the guest speaker is all set to speak. Online: we meet 15 minutes early on Zoom to chat and set up.
  • Event set-up for in-person programs and clean up for in-person programs.
  • Host introductions and thanks for in-person programs (write "welcome" and basic club information on the whiteboard for in-person events, orient the podium, make sure the tables and chairs are set up in a nice way, then help touch up table top surfaces afterward should there be food left behind and the like).
  • For in-person programs, work with Capital Factory tech support to queue live video broadcasts (start and stop), and to share links to live broadcasts on social media. If we are online, generally we coordinate with TechSoup, which posts our Zoom recordings and slide decks on YouTube.
  • Helping us thank guest speakers and hosts by identifying a gift card or small gift to give to our guest speakers during programs. 


These jobs are all fairly easy but essential. Our volunteers communicate mostly via email. If you have questions, please send a message via the contact form on the TechSoup Connect Texas Chapter page. Thank you!

TechSoup Connect Texas Chapter is inclusive. We celebrate multiple approaches and points of view. We are always growing our network of people, programs and tools to help everyone grow and manage their careers. Ideas are welcome anytime!
