The TLC meets quarterly with the next meeting on September 25th. If you are interested or know someone who’s interested in joining the TLC please contact Julie Chapman at julie@npowergdcr.org.

“It was a great honor to receive the NPower Greater DC Region 2008 Technology Innovation Award. Technology is a fundamental part of what we do at Peace X Peace: multiplying the power of women by the power of leading-edge communications technology to promote women’s solutions for peace. This prestigious award testifies to our success in connecting women across many different cultures for intercultural dialogue and peace action. Thank you for this recognition!”

“We are all extremely proud to have received NPower’s Technology Innovation Award. It recognized the years of hard work it took to create our global data warehouse and acknowledged our achievements in leading the fight against pediatric AIDS. It meant a lot to everyone who was involved in the project – the Foundation got a big morale boost with our win. This honor is a reflection on us all and it was MUCH appreciated!”

“RAINN was awarded the 2007 Technology Innovation Award from NPower for our use of cutting-edge technology to help victims of sexual violence online. Thanks to this prestigious recognition by NPower and its partners, and the helpful prizes that came with it, RAINN was able to expand the services we offer through the National Sexual Assault Online Hotline, providing even more victims with live anonymous help online. We commend NPower for its continued dedication to helping nonprofits achieve greater impact in our community.”
