As TechSoup gets geared up for our first Contributors Summit February 15-17, 2011, it's been interesting to reflect upon my nearly 10 years here. We're preparing to gather some of the thought leaders and innovators across the nonprofit landscape, partners and friends from over 35 countries and taking a fresh and new look at what our collective efforts in and around TechSoup have meant to NPO's / NGO's and what more we can and should be achieving in the years ahead.

A long, long way from who we were 10 years ago, and that makes thinking about where we'll be in 2021 breathtaking, if the growth and expansion of the last 10 years stay on pace. What we hear, what we learn and what inspiration surfaces from this gathering will be things to ponder, and I look forward to exploring those here.
