Tech Steward

At the Stewardship of Technology pre-conference of the National Worship Leaders Conference in Albuquerque, DJ Chuang presented these slides to start our discussions about the role of a tech steward.

I’ll append additional links and notes here to continue our discussions on this role. The stewardship of technology is something we’re all learning together collaboratively — we invite you to join the conversation. Please add your comments.
