Trailblazer Community Cove

Hi Nonprofit Community! Weekly Roundup - Sept 11

Before I dive into the usual Friday updates, wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that it's September 11th - 25 years since September 11th, 2001. Just wanted to pause and remember those we lost, those who lost loved ones, and everyone impacted in any way. Feels weird to simply keep chugging along sometimes, so wanted to pause, acknowledge, and remember <3  

Now, let's take a look at what's going on in the Nonprofit Salesforce world this week - as we've got this event called DREAMFORCE NEXT WEEK! Even if you can't attend in SF, there are options for ways to get involved on Salesforce+ virtually, in Dreamforce 2 U events following, etc. Chime in on the comments if there are other hot topics you'd like to share too :)
