2023 Washington State Nonprofits Conference Field Notes
I enjoyed four great sessions on the first day of the Washington State Nonprofit Conference about remote work, nonprofit structures, “nice racism,” and world-class websites.

Day 3 of the 2022 conference brought a keynote about a local equitable housing initiative and my web accessibility Ask Me Anything session. Plus, online conferences are still hard on attendees.
Day 2 of the 2022 conference saw me attend one session about improving facilitation that fosters racial justice through “micropractices.”
Day 1 of the 2022 conference included a keynote all about technology in nonprofits, a presentation by one of my clients, and a brand new name and logo for Washington Nonprofits!
The final day of 22NTC was a fun grab bag! I learned and talked about WordPress and CRMs, data visualization, inclusive presentations, and ended the day listening to author Saeed Jones.
Today included three really fun community conversations—the “hallway track” of this online conference—and then a lot of sessions about including stakeholders in technology projects, usability testing, and the combination of the two!
Day 1 of 22NTC is in the books! I went to lots of sessions about inclusion, disability, and accessibility. And also WordPress, of course!
I enjoyed a day full of learning when I “attended” WordCamp US 2021 online. I focused mostly on talks about the WordPress Block Editor and took some notes!
The third and final full day of the Washington State Nonprofit Conference was filled with big picture thinking about the role of nonprofits and how to effectively move organizations toward justice, diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging.
The second full day of the Washington State Nonprofit Conference included a really engaging conversational keynote, my nonprofit website Ask Me Anything, and a session on photography.
I’m actively participating in the Washington nonprofit community at the 2021 Washington State Nonprofit Conference. The sessions I attended on the first full day were focused on historic racism in the nonprofit sector and philanthropy and what we need to do about it.
And that’s a wrap! The third and final day of 21NTC was a whirlwind of information, ideas, and connections. I watched presentations inclusive facilitation, long-form content, and equitable project management and design. But the keynote was the clear highlight of the day with a critical message for us all.
21NTC kept the learning and connections flowing! Here are my notes about web accessibility, diagramming as a tool for communication, iterative website improvement, and a few nuggets from a keynote conversation by Nikole Hannah-Jones.
Day 1 of NTC had me learning about discriminatory “race blind” AI, how to build equitable structures and a better nonprofit sector, consent in user experience design, more accessible data visualizations, and, of course, WordPress!
