         <p>
            Founded in 2011, CTOs for Good is an invitation-only group of technical leaders at nonprofits that deliver social impact primarily through
            technology and digital strategy. We support each other in doing big things on lean budgets. We share best practices and lessons learned
            around technology choices, managing technical teams, scaling social impact, and much more. We also have two sister groups: CMOs for Good
            and COOs for Good.

            CTOs for Good gathers once a year for a private, two-day unconference. This annual event allows us to come together in person to share
            best practices, discuss common challenges, and learn from each other. We’re also joined by guest speakers from industry-leading companies
            who share their wisdom with us. Many thanks to our generous sponsors and hosts who make these events possible.

               Our very active group email list enables our members to quickly and easily access the collective wisdom of the group. When members hit
               a particularly troublesome technical issue or are grappling with a tricky management decision, they can reach out to the group for
               advice and help. Often times another member has solved a similar problem and can offer insight or can connect them to someone in their
               network who can help. This reduces the number of times we "reinvent the wheel" and helps us all scale our organizations more quickly.
