Charitocracy Boot Camp

Our daughter, Felicity, donated her time and talent to a collection of short training videos we're calling Charitocracy Boot Camp. Each one is super short (about a minute long) and walk you through one aspect of the Charitocracy website, such as voting, nominating, or resetting your password. Enjoy, and maybe learn something new? (Thanks for being awesome, Felicity!)

Big Thanks to our Board of Directors!

Last week my son and I were caught in some bad weather while traveling overseas, and it caused me to miss the Charitocracy board's annual meeting. We actually meet quarterly, but this is the "big one" each year. So I just wanted to post a big public thank you to the board for being so flexible and understanding. I value your time immensely, so thanks for rallying with a quick reschedule for next week. We'll have a great meeting, as usual, and it'll surely refuel me for another productive 3 months of keeping Charitocracy chugging along. I have a strong feeling big things will happen in 2022! Thanks to our board, and all of you, for being a part of the magic here. ❤️
