  A recent PRSPCT-L conversation sparked fresh energy around how we use dashboards in Raiser’s Edge NXT—so let’s keep that momentum going in Ohio! Join veteran researcher Jen Nettles from the OhioHealth Foundation for an informal roundtable discussion focused on tips, tricks, and creative ideas for making the most of NXT dashboards. Whether you're just getting started or have dashboards you're proud of, come ready to share and learn from your peers. If there's enough interest, this could be the first of many NXT-focused roundtables!

  Free for current OPRN members. $5 for nonmembers.
