Tech Steward

Thanks to everyone for attending and engaging actively at the Stewardship of Technology Pre-Conference at #nwlc10!

We mentioned a bunch of resources, and I’m hoping to list them here so you can easily share them and refer to them. Please add a comment with additional resources and more questions and comments and we’ll respond, as we continue the conversation on being better tech stewards.
