Organizer and Author Paul Getsos to present at PTP's Database Training

Organizer and author Paul Getsos, (co-author of "Tools for Radical Democracy" and former director of Community Voices Heard)  will help us kick off the Databases, and Technology Assessment and Planning Training, April 2-4 in Minneapolis, MN.

Paul's joining us to share his experience and perspective on how and why technology, and in particular databases are a critical tool for building power.  As he and Joan Minieri wrote:

Organizing is ultimately about building and managing mass numbers of relationships.  A database offers the most effective way to track and manage relationships.

With a well-organized and well-managed database, you keep track of everyone who comes into contact with the organization. . . . Of all the technologies available for large-scale base-building, mobilizing, and leadership development, an easy-to-use database is the one technology that most effectively builds the power of an organization.

There are still a few more places available in the Database Training, so if you're interested, click here to register.

Also, if you're thinking about registering for our Voter Tech Training, and your organization doesn't have a solid data system "footing," you should really think about attending both April 2-4 Database training, as well as the Voter Tech Training.
