Allison Fine - Orginal Panelist |
 Allison Fine is the chief executive officer of the E-Volve Foundation, an operation dedicated to advancing open source technology that encourages people to participate in community life.
Her new book, Edges: Trends and Opportunities in Online Civic Engagement, speaks to that same theme. Allison works from the Hudson Valley community of Irvington, New York. She is also the founder of Innovation Network, Inc., a national project that has been providing consulting, training, and Web-based tools for nonprofits and funders since 1992. |
"To be successful the nonprofit sector does not have to be bigger. Rather, we have to be smarter, more agile, more open, and more facilitative. We need to find, encourage, understand, and insist on meaningful participation, as modeled and enhanced by open source software. That's the greatest change that has to occur for activist organizations to become more effective and powerful."
