As promised, here are the links for all of the organizations that I mentioned in my talk today at Creative Chicago Expo at the Chicago Cultural Center.

If I’ve missed any or you have a follow up question, please post a comment, thanks!

And, I’d love to give this speech again for other organizations, if you recommend it, I’d really appreciate it if you posted that in the comments as well! Thanks! ~Elaine

Update: 3.5.2013 Here’s some bonus material, not in the speech.

Over on my blog, All Things Metal Clay, I have a post that explains how I use basecamp (personally):

And here’s the link to the guide that I mentioned at CyberDriveIllinois, the website of the secretary of state:

It’s a comprehensive and helpful guide.
