Building it usually involves lots of strategy work to define your Theory of Change, audiences, and levels, plus finding the best technology track it all. Haven't yet embarked on this epic journey to being more effective organizers and fundraisers? You'd be amazed what you've already accomplished without ever having uttered the words "engagement pyramid". Let's uncover the maps you already have, clear away the mists of technical uncertainty, and help you lead the way to your hidden engagement pyramid. BARBARA CHRISTENSEN, SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER at Percolator Consulting Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gardengnome/ Barbara has spent 20 years on the digital side of a nonprofit—CRM wrangling; digital organizing, fundraising, and communications; and IT and user support (and often all of those jobs at once). Her favorite campaign win was turning out hundreds of happy commenters to dull wildlife commission meetings for months. At Percolator, she empowers clients to sync their technology to their mission and is practically giddy about engagement. She believes profoundly in goals over gadgets, loves smashing bugs of the technical persuasion, and will talk to you about bats and/or chickens for far too long if you let her.
