Week two of our discussion on the principles.
This weeks principle is: We, as nonprofit-focused technology professionals, pledge to:
Appreciate and Respect an Organization’s Character and Adapt Our Approaches Appropriately
One could argue that this is more applicable to consultants, but I think it has relevance for nonprofit staff and vendors. Otherwise this seems pretty straightforward.
Any concerns or issues with this one?
I also encourage everyone to share "What this means to me" for inclusion in the master "What these Mean to Us" document that will accompany the principles.
When commenting please remember:
-
This
is just a baseline – version 1.0. There will likely be future editions,
so this doesn’t need to be perfect for all time, just a solid start.
-
The
principles need to be applicable to all nonprofit technology
professionals, including nonprofit staff, consultants, technology
support organizations, vendors, and volunteers.
-
The principles need to be applicable across areas of focus, US geographic region, specialty, services and tools.
- Further details will be articulated by the community in “What These Mean to Me” documents posted in the library. So these need not incorporate all the details they imply.
