We participate in Green Street’s Walk/Ride Day Corporate Challenge, where employees “check-in” their commute on the last Friday of every month, providing a recurring opportunity to think about – and often to explore – more environmentally friendly and healthy commuting options.
For more than a decade, Tech Networks hosted nonprofit technology Roundtable sessions, which addressed critical topics for nonprofits including nonprofit management, social media strategies and best practices for technology in a rapidly changing landscape.
