On Wednesday, October 17th, we've invited our colleagues from the funder community to spend an afternoon with our author-friends, Beth Kanter and KD Paine. The duo are on tour discussing their latest book, Measuring the Networked Nonprofit. While this is an invite-only event, you can keep up with the dialog via our Twitter channel and the hashtag #netnon. The program begins at 4:30 p.m. PDT. 

This event is co-presented by the Levi Strauss Foundation and the Northern California Grantmakers.

About Measuring the Networked Nonprofit from Amazon.com:

Having a social media measurement plan and approach can no longer be an after-thought. It is a requirement of success. As nonprofits refine their social media practice, their boards are expecting reports showing results. As funders provide dollars to support programs that include social media, they too want to see results. This book offers the tools and strategies needed for nonprofits that need reliable and measurable data from their social media efforts. Using these tools will not only improve a nonprofit?s decision making process but will produce results-driven metrics for staff and stakeholders.

• A hands-on resource for nonprofit professionals who must be able to accurately measure the results of their social media ventures
• Written by popular nonprofit blogger Beth Kanter and measurement expert Katie Delahaye Paine
• Filled with tools, strategies, and illustrative examples that are highly accessible for nonprofit professionals

This important resource will give savvy nonprofit professionals the information needed to produce measurable results for their social media.

Note: Beth and KD will be at a few other public Bay Area events this week.
