Hi Nonprofit Community! Weekly Roundup - July 31

WOW... last day of July! Let's take a look at what's going on in the Nonprofit Salesforce world this week! Chime in on the comments if there are other hot-topics you'd like to share too :)   

🔒 ICYMI: Experience Cloud Guest User Security Reminder 

• Salesforce recently shared an important update on securing Experience Cloud guest user access. If you haven't already, review the Trust Site post and this blog on protecting your data to validate your guest user configuration. 
• While you're at it, this is a great time to make sure your org has a Security Contact set up and that you're subscribed to receive these kinds of security updates directly. 
• Questions? Log a support case, or check out the on-demand video series on building a secure org. 

⭐ What's new

• New webinars added below: Tableau+: The Future of AI Analytics (Aug 5) and A Reality Check on Agentforce Nonprofit - look for it twice this month, Aug 6 and Aug 20 (a popular one!)
• 13 new LATAM Spanish-localized certification exams are here! Not nonprofit-specific, but sharing the update from the Trailhead team.

📌 Heads up: Nonprofit AMA schedule shift in August

💙 Recap written by Lizzy & the Nonprofit Community Team

Hi Nonprofit Community! Weekly Roundup - July 24

Hi crew! Happy Friday! We had a lovely chat this morning in Coffee Chat (our Friday hangout - open to all if anyone ever wants to join!) with a bunch of you. These are always a fun time of the week to wind down together - I get to hear what you're all thinking about, talking about, but also just time to connect. One moment we're talking about Chia Pets, the next @Dar Veverka is dropping knowledge about the percentage of households that are single-person (more than you'd think!).... Alright, now let's dive in! 

⭐ What's new

• New Community Sprints announced! The Nonprofit Community team announced for events for the rest of the year! @Cori O'Brien and I are heading to Amsterdam (Oct 19-20) & San Francisco (Nov 9-10) later this year after Dreamforce, we hope to see you at one of our upcoming Sprints (these are kinda like hackathons)! Can't join in person? We have the Virtual Sprint (Aug 11-12) coming up too! 
• New Hands-on Workshop for Premier & Signature Admins: Secure the Org: Find and Fix Vulnerabilities (ADX012). Not Nonprofit-specific, but wanted to flag it in case you missed it — check it out if you're on Premier or Signature. See the update!
