Quotes from members
NPSF has been a great way to hear about the latest developments in Salesforce CRM for non-profits
as well as learn about new, innovative ways to customize Salesforce CRM especially for the needs of non-profits. I have appreciated being kept up to date about issues in the new NP template, events in the area
and also general thoughts on best practices as it applies to the NP universe.
I like the broad range of participants/org roles. I also think that it is great to correspond directly with salesforce.com
employees, this is an invaluable networking opportunity and provides insight into the future and direction
of salesforce.com.
