Who doesn’t like waking up at 6am to travel to beautiful and exotic Sacramento to start off their week? That’s just what Matt, Misty and Jessica did on Monday, May 14, 2012 and we enjoyed every moment of the visit together to meet with the South Sacramento BHC Hub and our partners, Zero Divide.
On May 7th, we flew to Long Beach to meet with the Building Healthy Communities of The California Endowment. We were introduced to the BHC Hub Staff Rene and Ana, Program Manager Jenny, and the communications committee Chris, Amelia and Sonya. Wow, what an amazing group of people!
In February, Matt, Misty and Jessica traveled to Los Angeles to meet the Building Healthy Communities (BHC) Hub media coordinators for a 2 day convening. BHC is a 10 yr initiative from The California Endowment (TCE) to improve the health of 14 communities across California. In 2011-2012, Zerodivide and Aspiration partnered to provide statewide technology capacity building support to the BHC communities.
What a beautiful time Misty and I had in Palm Springs at the end of April! We were there to run the Technology Pre-Conference track at the 20th annual California WIC Association’s Annual Spring Conference and Trade Show on April 29!
Now that we are all over the holiday hangover, it’s time to assess how your communications strategy is working for you. At the SFNTC, we are holding a series of no-cost workshops for nonprofits and social justice organizations to ramp up their online communications. Space is limited, so register today!
Bring your own lunch and be ready to participate.

Jessica Steimer and Uno Nam are the newest members of the team here at Aspiration. As AmeriCorps VISTAs, it is their job to spend one year working on capacity building for NPOs with the ultimate goal of helping to reduce poverty. The program under which they are working, called HandsOn Tech, is sponsored by the Points of Light Institute based in Atlanta and incorporates 24 VISTAs in seven cities, all with the shared focus of using technology to make organizations more efficient and more effective in supporting their mission. Each will work with eleven non profits over the course of a year, providing workshops, assessment, and on-site support.
Let us introduce ourselves!
