As a Senior Internet Solutions Consultant with Blackbaud I support nonprofit clients implementing websites utilizing Blackbaud NetCommunity (Spark, Grow and Pro) and Blackbaud Sphere, and also develop Internet strategies and train nonprofit leaders in online engagement, email communications, online marketing, social media, search engine optimization, fundraising and advocacy.
As GLSEN's Information & Technology Manager I work to support the organizations staff by creating technology plans and budgets, network management, staff trainings, email and listserv management and user setup, among other things. Additionally I am currently co-leading two major organizational strategies to build an organization-wide database for user involvement and a major funding proposal for organization-wide technology purchases and upgrades. I manage our relationships with all technology vendors and an outsourced technology support company. In addition, I manage the Operations Assistant position, whose time is split working with me and our HR staff.
As GLSEN's Student Information Systems & Technology Manager I supported all student organizing technology needs, student support email accounts and websites, including the official Day of Silence website, www.dayofsilence.org. I also led the effort to build the organization's first comprehensive user-driven and web-hosted database, http://www.studentorganizing.org. GLSEN's launch of www.studentorganizing.org provided for a 130% increase in individual registrations, numbering in the tens of thousands.
Creating a Student Organizing department and staff to handle the increased work the previous 2 years had created, I led the Day of Silence project in it's first two years with GLSEN--in addition to having conceived and developed it's transfer to GLSEN. Previously having had participants at less than 200 high schools, we created GLSEN's first-ever student leadership team and together led the Day of Silence's national outreach effort, resource/material creation and support for an estimated 100,000 student participants in nearly 2,000 middle & high schools across the country within the first year! The Day of Silence today has over 500,000 participants take part annually in over 5,000 middle & high schools in the US. It is the largest single student-led day of action on LGBT issues in the world. We worked with Representative Eliot Engel to introduce the first-ever Day of Silence resolution in Congress and achieved 29 co-signers. We also received state proclamations from Governor Gray Davis of California and Governor Jennifer M. Granholm of Michigan, as well as a New York City Council Resolution.
As the first full time staff at GLSEN dedicated to working with and supporting high school students and Gay-Straight Alliances, I developed resources and trainings dealing with anti-LGBT harassment prevention in K-12 schools. Over 1,500 student clubs formed and/or joined GLSEN's national network of GSAs, then called Student Pride, bringing the total known student clubs to nearly 2,000 by the end of 2001.
