The team is super excited to announce that the second alpha release of CiviCRM 4.5 is now available for downloading AND you can try it out on the 4.5 sandbox site!

Has your constituency base increased more at the start of last year or this year? Is your organisation receiving more contributions on weekends or weekdays? Does your event has more participants than it had last year?

This year we are hosting the CiviCRM User Summit (formerly known as CiviCamp) on Friday, September 12th in Washington, DC. This event is an excellent way to meet with fellow association and nonprofit users of CiviCRM and strengthen the nonprofit and CiviCRM communities. This one-day conference is filled with informational sessions from current nonprofit and association users as well as developers and implementers of CiviCRM.

Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research are recruiting a new CRM & Database manager. This is a unique opportunity for someone who wants a role which is more than managing data quality and flows. This role will be a key ambassador for our CiviCRM, and work with the Insight team to ensure our CiviCRM delivers the maximum benefit across the organisation.

In the course of this work I’ve taken up some strong opinions with how CiviCRM should orient itself in the future with regards to the CMSs it supports.

CiviCRM has an opening for a part time fundraiser, who will work with the core team to strengthen financial relationships with vendors and end-user organizations.  Primary responsibilities will include managing the partner and member programs, as well as setting strategic direction for financially funding the platform over the next five to ten years.
