Information from the Fox Valley Leadership Conference - November 2012

1. As you review the tools we talked about at the
conference, please know that I am MORE than happy to:
-help answer questions,
-brainstorm ideas,
-and hear cool new ways you are using these
(and other) technologies in your organizations!

3.  Remember, the best uses of technology
actually come from a good idea – NOT from a
“cool” technology
 Once you have the idea of what you want to
do, find that technology tool that fits that
need best!
