We had a great time presenting recently at the Michigan Nonprofit Association SuperConference! We shared five trends that are redefining nonprofit communications, and the audience offered a lot of excellent questions and insight that made for a richer exchange.

If you were part of this discussion, thank you! We were very energized by it and hope you were too! If you couldn't join us, we're sharing the presentation here:

The audience also received two handouts you can download:

• Engagement Matrix: A spectrum of ways you can engage with emerging technology and social media -- it doesn't have to be all or nothing!
• Social Media Tools Chart: A chart describing some of the most popular tools to include in your emerging communications toolkit

Finally, we mentioned a variety of data and research in our presentation. Here are a few links related to what we shared:

• How the old, the young, and everyone in between uses social networks (from eMarketer)
• A tale of two nonprofit and social media adoption surveys (from Beth Kanter)
• Social Media Provide Untapped Opportunity to Engage High Dollar Non-profit Donors
• Donation Usability: Increasing online giving to non-profits and charities (from Jakob Nielsen, UseIt.com)
• What's the value of a Facebook fan? (from The Chronicle of Philanthropy)

We hope we can return to the 2011 SuperConference for another great discussion!
