The start of a great conversation going on over at Acronym about Creating Cheap Member Benefits which focuses on ways to help volunteers work effectively within shrinking budgets ... I just found another "cheap" Inspiration on Demand - Create a Swipe File that could help boards and volunteers and you collect and share ideas. 

The question of finding great tools is relevant regardless of the economy ... got any to add?

The past two weeks I've worked with a couple of our chapters we manage to help them explore the web - specifically LinkedIn and Facebook. I'll report in the coming weeks on the experiments but wanted to share some resources I'm using to help them try out the new "world" and put a plug in for a free webinar which is yet another tool that I (and you can use) to help those anxious about the using the web for their chapters.
