Who’s behind the Nonprofit Website Insider?
The Insider is edited by Laura S. Quinn. I’m an independent consultant specializing in helping nonprofits as a Website Coach + Guide and with Website Strategy. I was also the founding Executive Director of Idealware, an organization that provides research based information to help nonprofits with technology. I’m excited to be able to provide tips, webinars, and resources again — it was a something I loved doing at Idealware!
