Mike Resman, president of the University of Minnesota Habitat for Humanity chapter, gave a presentation about using technology effectively for nonprofit organizations. He discussed choosing the right tools based on cost, ease of use, and who will use them. Google Apps and keeping in touch using shared documents were presented as low-cost options. Various apps like Evernote, Dropbox, and Mailchimp were demonstrated for tasks like note-taking, file sharing, and email marketing. The presentation encouraged attendees to start with free tools and try options before purchasing.
